Agent skill
backend-api
Design and implement RESTful API endpoints following best practices for routing, versioning, and HTTP standards. Use this skill when creating or modifying API routes, controllers, or endpoints in files like routes/api.php, API controller files in app/Http/Controllers/Api/, controller files in app/Http/Controllers/, API resource classes, or when implementing REST API functionality. Use when working on URL structures, HTTP method handling (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE), API versioning strategies, query parameter handling for filtering/sorting/pagination, HTTP status code responses, rate limiting configuration, or any API endpoint design decisions.

Backend API
This Skill provides Claude Code with specific guidance on how to adhere to coding standards as they relate to how it should handle backend API.
When to use this skill
- When creating or editing API route definitions in
routes/api.phpor similar routing files - When building or modifying controllers in
app/Http/Controllers/or controller directories - When building or modifying API controllers in
app/Http/Controllers/Api/or API-specific controller directories - When implementing RESTful endpoints with proper HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE)
- When designing URL structures and resource-based API paths
- When implementing API versioning (URL path versioning like
/api/v1/or header-based versioning) - When configuring query parameters for filtering, sorting, pagination, or search functionality
- When determining appropriate HTTP status codes for API responses (200, 201, 400, 404, 500, etc.)
- When implementing rate limiting headers or API throttling
- When creating nested resource routes or working with resource relationships in APIs
- When writing API resource transformation classes or response formatting logic

fastapi-mastery
Comprehensive FastAPI development skill covering REST API creation, routing, request/response handling, validation, authentication, database integration, middleware, and deployment. Use when working with FastAPI projects, building APIs, implementing CRUD operations, setting up authentication/authorization, integrating databases (SQL/NoSQL), adding middleware, handling WebSockets, or deploying FastAPI applications. Triggered by requests involving .py files with FastAPI code, API endpoint creation, Pydantic models, or FastAPI-specific features.
context7-efficient
Token-efficient library documentation fetcher using Context7 MCP with 86.8% token savings through intelligent shell pipeline filtering. Fetches code examples, API references, and best practices for JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, and other libraries. Use when users ask about library documentation, need code examples, want API usage patterns, are learning a new framework, need syntax reference, or troubleshooting with library-specific information. Triggers include questions like "Show me React hooks", "How do I use Prisma", "What's the Next.js routing syntax", or any request for library/framework documentation.
browser-use
Browser automation using Playwright MCP. Navigate websites, fill forms, click elements, take screenshots, and extract data. Use when tasks require web browsing, form submission, web scraping, UI testing, or any browser interaction.
