This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

rest-api-architect from nerviz-ai/nerviz is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Designs the inbound REST adapter for an already-modeled use case — endpoints, DTOs, status codes, error map, pagination, idempotency, API versioning, inbound admission, and OpenAPI — into the `30-rest.md` partial. Use when the request involves exposing a use case via HTTP, designing an endpoint or controller, deciding status and error body, paginating a collection, applying `Idempotency-Key`, introducing a `/v2` or deprecating and retiring an API version, a rate limit or quota per client, a…

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

## Available specs

!`find "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}/docs/use-cases" -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -name 'UC-*' 2>/dev/null | sort`

Empty above → none yet, run `/use-case-design` first. (`find`, not an `ls` glob: under zsh an unmatched glob
aborts the command before any fallback runs.)

## Target

$ARGUMENTS

# REST API Architect

Designs **how the use case is exposed over HTTP**: what endpoints exist, what DTOs go
in and out, what status each result returns, what error body arises from each domain
exception, how the collection is paginated, and what OpenAPI has to document. What
`domain-modeling` left as an inbound port, this skill gives transport shape to.

**Entry rule: without `10-domain.md`, there's nothing to expose.** This skill reads
`docs/use-cases/UC-NNN-<slug>/00-use-case.md` and `10-domain.md` and treats them as
a contract. Without the domain partial, it stops and tells the caller to run
`/domain-modeling` — designing endpoints before the ports and exceptions exist produces
a contract that describes the screen, not the business.

**Exit rule: writes no code.** It emits `30-rest.md`. The controller, the DTOs, the
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nerviz-ai/nerviz/rest-api-architect@sha256:f399faa2c153b711

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.5f1549e, 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.
