Platform Notes

• Optional helper plugins may help in some environments, but they must not be treated as required for this skill.

API Pagination Skill

Acknowledgement: Shared by Peter Bamuhigire, techguypeter.com, +256 784 464178.

Use When

• Offset pagination pattern for PHP REST APIs and mobile clients (Android Jetpack Compose + iOS SwiftUI). Covers backend response format, client DTOs, repository, ViewModel state, and infinite-scroll UI. Use when adding pagination to any list endpoint.
• The task needs reusable judgment, domain constraints, or a proven workflow rather than ad hoc advice.

Do Not Use When

• The task is unrelated to api-pagination or would be better handled by a more specific companion skill.
• The request only needs a trivial answer and none of this skill's constraints or references materially help.
