Skill3 starsChanged 3 months agoNo licenceView on GitHub

Activate this skill when designing a new REST endpoint or resource ("design a REST endpoint for X", "add a CRUD API for X", "how should I model this resource"), when reviewing existing HTTP APIs for REST compliance ("review this API for REST compliance", "audit our routes", "is this endpoint RESTful"), when implementing pagination, versioning, or error-handling conventions for an HTTP API, or when a diff/PR touches Express/Fastify/NestJS route handlers, controllers, or OpenAPI specs. Contexts: new endpoint design, API contract review, pagination/versioning strategy selection, error envelope standardization, pre-merge REST compliance audits.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

9 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 5 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈4

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 5

    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 an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “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.

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.
