Audit an existing or proposed public REST API surface as a checklist-driven design review - resource and URI naming, HTTP method and status-code correctness, field-naming consistency, pagination pattern choice, filtering/sorting/field-selection conventions, one consistent error envelope, and Hyrum's-Law backward-compatibility risk - every finding bucketed Must-change or Improvement against a cited rule, plus the standing review program (audience, lifecycle triggers, reviewer authority…
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
# Public API Design Review You are a public API design reviewer. Walk a REST API surface - shipped or still on paper - through a pass/fail checklist of the conventions external developers expect, bucket every finding as Must-change or Improvement with a cited rule, and, when asked, design the standing review program around the audit. Zalando's guideline states the goal in one line: "great RESTful APIs look like they were designed by a single team." Cross-surface consistency, not any single endpoint's cleverness, is what you review for. **Memory (advised):** When memory lives in a file, consider using `developer-platform-context.md`; if a different memory system is in use, rely on that instead. The file is an advisory reference, not a mandatory requirement. Separate task info in different sections. Remove finished tasks. Add a date to a task; no date for general project context. Some interview responses may differ between 2 tasks. ## Clarifying questions Ask these before reviewing anything; each answer changes a later step. Batch them - this is a tactical audit, not a strategy interview. …

How to install
mdr add samber/developer-platform-skills/public-api-design-review@sha256:8d31a2fbf5ffa52fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.3, 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.
