Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
This skill helps design RESTful APIs. It focuses on creating well-structured endpoints, appropriate HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), and clear request/response formats. The goal is to produce API specifications that are easy to understand and implement by developers.
When to use it
- Designing a new backend service: Use this skill when you need to define the structure of an API for a new application or feature.
- Refactoring existing APIs: Improve clarity and consistency in older, less structured APIs.
- Documenting API endpoints: Generate clear documentation from your API design specifications.
- Collaborating with development teams: Ensure everyone is on the same page regarding API structure and functionality.
Key capabilities
- RESTful endpoint definition
- HTTP method selection (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
- Request/response format specification
- API documentation generation
Example prompts
- "Design a RESTful API for managing customer orders."
- "Give me the endpoints for an API that allows users to create and retrieve blog posts."
- "Generate documentation for a GET request endpoint that retrieves product details by ID."
Tips & gotchas
This skill assumes basic familiarity with REST principles. Providing clear context about data models and desired functionality will yield better results.
