Does it provide patterns for specific services?

The skill includes common implementation patterns for popular services like Stripe, SendGrid, and Twilio, which can be adapted for any third-party provider.

Can it help with rate-limited APIs?

Yes, the skill includes logic for client-side rate limiting and exponential backoff to handle 429 Too Many Requests errors and prevent service disruptions.

How does this skill handle API security?

It implements best practices for API key management using environment variables and provides templates for secure OAuth 2.0 flows and webhook signature verification.

Is this skill compatible with GraphQL?
