Review REST API designs for quality, consistency, and breaking changes. Lints OpenAPI specs, generates scorecards, and detects breaking changes between versions. Use when designing APIs, reviewing contracts, or managing API versioning.
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 Reviewer Comprehensive analysis and review of REST API designs against conventions, best practices, and industry standards. Helps engineering teams build consistent, maintainable, well-designed APIs through automated linting, breaking-change detection, and design scorecards. ## Core Capabilities - **API linting & convention analysis** — resource naming (kebab-case URLs, camelCase fields), HTTP method usage, URL structure, status-code compliance, error-format consistency, and documentation coverage. - **Breaking change detection** — endpoint removal, response-shape changes, field removal/rename, type changes, new required fields, and status-code changes between two spec versions, with migration guides. - **API design scoring** — weighted scorecard across Consistency (30%), Documentation (20%), Security (20%), Usability (15%), and Performance (15%), with letter grades A–F and recommendations. ## When to Use - Designing a new REST API or reviewing an API contract. - Validating an OpenAPI/Swagger spec against REST conventions. - Managing API versioning and detecting breaking changes between releases. - Gating deployments on API design quality in CI. ## Clarify First …

How to install
mdr add borghei/claude-skills/api-design-reviewer@sha256:9de9077f178af800The 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.
