Architects secure, scalable, and production-grade APIs using REST, GraphQL, and gRPC best practices.
This skill equips Claude with the expertise of an elite API architect to design and implement robust backend interfaces. It enforces industry standards such as OpenAPI 3.1, RFC 7807 error handling, and OWASP API Security Top 10 mitigations. By prioritizing a Test-Driven Development (TDD) workflow and rigorous specification verification, it helps developers build high-performance APIs featuring advanced pagination, secure OAuth2/JWT authentication, and sophisticated rate-limiting strategies while avoiding common implementation pitfalls.
