What architectural style does this skill follow?

This skill is specifically optimized for REST (Representational State Transfer) architecture, following industry-standard naming conventions and HTTP methods.

How does it handle pagination?

The skill provides standardized response formats for collection pagination, including page numbers, totals, and navigational links.

Can it help with API security?

Yes, it provides guidance on authentication via Bearer tokens, rate limiting headers, and server-side input validation/sanitization.

Does it support API versioning?

It includes patterns for both URL path-based versioning (e.g., /v1/users) and header-based versioning strategies.
