About This Skill
What it does
The api-patterns skill helps AI agents understand and generate common API design patterns, such as RESTful endpoints, GraphQL queries, and API versioning strategies. It provides guidance on structuring requests, handling authentication, and defining response formats for various types of APIs.
When to use it
- Designing a new API for a web application or microservice architecture
- Refactoring an existing API to follow best practices
- Explaining API concepts to developers unfamiliar with REST or GraphQL
Key capabilities
- Recognition of common RESTful endpoint structures
- Generation of GraphQL query examples
- Explanation of API versioning techniques (e.g., URL path, headers)
- Guidance on authentication methods like OAuth and API keys
Example prompts
- "Explain how to structure a RESTful API for a user management system."
- "Generate an example of a GraphQL mutation for updating user data."
- "What are the best practices for versioning an API?"
Tips & gotchas
- This skill assumes basic knowledge of HTTP methods and request/response formats.
- It may not cover domain-specific APIs (e.g., IoT or blockchain) in depth, so additional research is recommended for specialized use cases.
