Agent skill
Backend API
Design and implement RESTful API endpoints following REST principles with clear resource-based URLs and appropriate HTTP methods. Use this skill when creating or modifying API routes, endpoints, controllers, or API handlers. When working with HTTP request/response handling, API versioning, rate limiting, or status code management. When designing URL structures, query parameters, or nested resource endpoints. When implementing API middleware, authentication endpoints, or any server-side API logic in route files, controller files, or API configuration files.
