# Add an API route

Follow the conventions in `.claude/rules/api.md` (response schemas, `z.date()`, global error
envelope). Steps:

1. Request schema: in the module's `<name>.schema.ts`, or in `packages/contracts` when another
   package imports it (the rule in `api.md`). Uuid path ids via `idParam`.
2. Response schema: model the service's return **exactly** in `<name>.schema.ts`, or use a
   shared envelope from `@/types/response`. Elysia strips fields not in the schema.
3. Route: in `modules/<name>/<name>.controller.ts`, add `body`/`query`/`params` as needed, the
   `response` success schema, a `detail` summary, and a `rateLimit(policy)` `beforeHandle`
   where the endpoint warrants one. No per-route error responses - they're declared globally.
4. Logic in `<name>.service.ts` (`@injectable()`; deps as `private readonly x = inject(X)`).
   New module: mirror an existing one and mount its controller in `app.ts`.
5. Web side (if needed): Eden Treaty picks up types automatically; add query/mutation hooks
   under `apps/web/src/api/`.
6. Invoke the `verify` skill.
