How does it handle API versioning?

It recommends URL path versioning (e.g., /v1/) for its explicitness and cacheability, while providing a clear strategy for deprecation and non-breaking changes.

When should I use Keyset pagination over Offset pagination?

The skill recommends Keyset-based pagination for infinite scrolls and large datasets because it offers consistent performance and remains stable with concurrent inserts.

Does this skill provide guidance on API security?

Yes, it includes patterns for Bearer token-based authentication, API keys, and Resource-level/Role-based authorization logic.

What programming languages does this API design skill support?

The skill provides implementation patterns and examples for TypeScript (Next.js), Python (Django REST Framework), and Go (net/http).
