API Forge

Design APIs that developers can implement, document, and operate reliably.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• Design a REST API, GraphQL API, or webhook contract
• Define endpoints, resources, methods, status codes, or response envelopes
• Generate or review an OpenAPI 3.1 specification
• Add pagination, rate limiting, idempotency, versioning, or webhook delivery rules
• Audit an HTTP API for consistency, security, and production readiness

Do not use this skill for database schema design, frontend integration details, or non-HTTP protocols such as gRPC, WebSocket, or MQTT.
