Skill4 starsChanged 2 months agoNo licenceView on GitHub

Designs REST and GraphQL APIs following production best practices for resource naming, error handling, versioning, authentication, and documentation. Use this skill when designing new API endpoints, reviewing API contracts, implementing GraphQL schemas, establishing API conventions for a project, or writing API documentation. Apply when creating any route in Next.js API routes or route handlers, any Supabase Edge Function, or any backend endpoint — even if it starts small, these patterns prevent painful rewrites later.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

11 rules. 0 are common, 7 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 28 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 7

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 4

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 28 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
