Configures API gateways for routing, authentication, rate limiting, and request transformation in microservice architectures. Use when setting up Kong, Nginx, AWS API Gateway, or Traefik for centralized API management.

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 Gateway Configuration

Design and configure API gateways for microservice architectures.

## Gateway Responsibilities

- Request routing and load balancing
- Authentication and authorization
- Rate limiting and throttling
- Request/response transformation
- Logging and monitoring
- SSL termination

## Kong Configuration (YAML)

```yaml
_format_version: "3.0"

services:
  - name: user-service
    url: http://user-service:3000
    routes:
      - name: user-routes
        paths: ["/api/users"]
    plugins:
      - name: rate-limiting
        config:
          minute: 100
          policy: local
      - name: jwt

  - name: order-service
    url: http://order-service:3000
    routes:
      - name: order-routes
        paths: ["/api/orders"]
```

## Nginx Configuration

```nginx
upstream backend {
    server backend1:3000 weight=5;
    server backend2:3000 weight=5;
    keepalive 32;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;

    location /api/ {
        proxy_pass http://backend;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_cache_valid 200 1m;
    }

    location /health {
        return 200 'OK';

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add secondsky/claude-skills/api-gateway-configuration@sha256:93e0af310967cc67

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260402.75421fa, 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.
