Architects robust, scalable, and intuitive APIs using REST, GraphQL, and gRPC industry best practices.
This skill empowers Claude with specialized knowledge for designing modern web interfaces that are consistent, performant, and developer-friendly. It provides comprehensive patterns for resource naming, pagination, and error handling across multiple protocols including REST, GraphQL, and gRPC. Beyond basic endpoint design, it addresses advanced architectural concerns such as versioning strategies, real-time communication via WebSockets/SSE, and the creation of machine-readable OpenAPI documentation. It also includes critical 'Sharp Edge' detection to prevent common pitfalls like breaking changes, N+1 query problems, and security vulnerabilities like missing rate limits.
