validating-api-contracts

Overview

This skill enables Claude to generate and validate API contracts, ensuring compatibility between API providers and consumers. It uses Pact for consumer-driven contract testing and OpenAPI validation for specification compliance.

How It Works

1. Generating Contract Tests: Claude creates Pact consumer tests based on API usage, generating provider verification tests and building OpenAPI contract validators.
2. Validating Contracts: The skill verifies if API responses match the defined contracts.
3. Checking Compatibility: It checks for backward compatibility to identify breaking changes in the API.

When to Use This Skill

This skill activates when you need to:

• Generate contract tests for an API.
• Validate API responses against existing contracts.
• Identify breaking changes in an API.
