Design or refactor API contracts for REST and GraphQL systems.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# API Design Use this skill to turn a vague integration idea, backend feature, or service boundary into a stable API contract that other skills can build on. The job is not to generate pretty docs. The job is to: - choose the right API style for the problem - define resources, operations, inputs, outputs, and failure semantics - make compatibility and versioning decisions explicit - produce a contract artifact that implementation, testing, and documentation can share - surface tradeoffs before the team hardens the wrong interface Read [references/contract-review-checklist.md](references/contract-review-checklist.md) and [references/boundary-guide.md](references/boundary-guide.md) before handling unusual or high-risk API work. If the user mainly needs: - **reference docs, tutorials, example-heavy guides, or doc portal setup** → use `api-documentation` - **auth implementation or token/session configuration** → use `authentication-setup` - **contract/integration test strategy** → use `backend-testing` - **schema/index/storage design** → use `database-schema-design` ## When to use this skill - Design a new REST API, GraphQL schema, or internal service contract …

How to install
mdr add akillness/jeo-skills/api-design@sha256:d2751fd6f9c8f2f1The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
