What is the API Handoff Documentation skill?

It is a specialized Claude Code skill that automates the creation of detailed markdown documentation for APIs once backend development is complete.

Where are the documentation files saved?

Documents are saved to the `.claude/docs/ai/ /` directory, making them easily accessible for both human developers and AI agents.

Does this skill provide TypeScript types?

Yes, it generates TypeScript interface examples for DTOs to help frontend developers implement type-safe integrations.

Can I use this for simple CRUD operations?

Yes, the skill includes a shortcut for straightforward APIs that skips the full template in favor of concise endpoint and payload examples.

Is the output suitable for other AI agents?

The documentation is specifically designed to be 'AI-ready,' providing dense technical context that allows frontend AI agents to build integrations correctly and confidently.

Generates structured, developer-ready API handoff documentation to bridge the gap between backend implementation and frontend integration.

关于

This skill automates the creation of comprehensive API documentation designed specifically for frontend developers and AI agents. It extracts business context, endpoint specifications, DTOs, and validation rules from backend code to produce a dense, actionable markdown file. By standardizing the handoff process, it eliminates communication gaps and provides frontend teams with all the necessary technical context, edge cases, and integration flows needed to build UI components without requiring backend clarification.
