api-design-standards skillA

api-design-standards is agent-read markdown (skill) from aethrox/doctrine: API design discipline grounded in the Microsoft/Google REST guidelines, resource and URL conventions, a chosen versioning strategy, what counts as a backward-compatible vs breaking change, and consumer-driven contract testing. Use when designing a new API endpoint, changing an existing API's request/response shape, deciding how to version an API, or asking whether a change to a public interface is breaking..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add aethrox/doctrine/api-design-standards@git:20260809.2a45dbb
Exact content
mdr add aethrox/doctrine/api-design-standards@sha256:72c568360354cadd

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
