What pagination methods are included?

The skill supports both modern cursor-based pagination for high performance and traditional offset-based pagination for simpler use cases.

How is error handling standardized?

It defines a consistent JSON error format and a TypeScript class hierarchy to ensure every endpoint returns predictable error codes and request IDs.

How does this skill help with API naming?

It enforces resource-oriented naming using plural nouns and kebab-case (e.g., /api/v1/user-profiles) instead of using verbs or inconsistent casing.

Does it support API versioning?

Yes, it provides clear patterns for URL path versioning and includes strategies for handling deprecation headers and sunsetting older endpoints.
