Review REST API contracts for HTTP semantics, versioning, backward compatibility, and response consistency. Use when user asks "review API", "check endpoints", "REST review", or before releasing API changes.

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 Contract Review Skill

Audit REST API design for correctness, consistency, and compatibility.

## When to Use
- User asks "review this API" / "check REST endpoints"
- Before releasing API changes
- Reviewing PR with controller changes
- Checking backward compatibility

---

## Quick Reference: Common Issues

| Issue | Symptom | Impact |
|-------|---------|--------|
| Wrong HTTP verb | POST for idempotent operation | Confusion, caching issues |
| Missing versioning | `/users` instead of `/v1/users` | Breaking changes affect all clients |
| Entity leak | JPA entity in response | Exposes internals, N+1 risk |
| 200 with error | `{"status": 200, "error": "..."}` | Breaks error handling |
| Inconsistent naming | `/getUsers` vs `/users` | Hard to learn API |

---

## HTTP Verb Semantics

### Verb Selection Guide

| Verb | Use For | Idempotent | Safe | Request Body |
|------|---------|------------|------|--------------|
| GET | Retrieve resource | Yes | Yes | No |
| POST | Create new resource | No | No | Yes |
| PUT | Replace entire resource | Yes | No | Yes |
| PATCH | Partial update | No* | No | Yes |
| DELETE | Remove resource | Yes | No | Optional |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add decebals/claude-code-java/api-contract-review@sha256:399304f39dd10040

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260828.702770a, 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.
