API Integration Skill

🔴 AI FIRST Quality Principle

Apply the AI FIRST principle: never accept first-pass quality. Minimum 2 iterations. Read all output, improve every section. No shortcuts.

Purpose

Expert knowledge in building robust API clients with proper error handling, rate limiting, authentication, and retry logic.

Core Principles

1. Resilience - Handle failures gracefully
2. Rate Limiting - Respect API limits
3. Retry Logic - Exponential backoff
4. Circuit Breaker - Fail fast when needed
5. Security - Secure credential storage
