Use when reviewing API designs for consistency, usability, versioning, error semantics, security, backward compatibility, and developer experience before implementation or release.

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 Design Reviewer

**Tier:** POWERFUL  
**Category:** Engineering / Architecture  
**Maintainer:** Claude Skills Team  

## Overview

The API Design Reviewer skill provides comprehensive analysis and review of API designs, focusing on REST conventions, best practices, and industry standards. This skill helps engineering teams build consistent, maintainable, and well-designed APIs through automated linting, breaking change detection, and design scorecards.

## Core Capabilities

### 1. API Linting and Convention Analysis
- **Resource Naming Conventions**: Enforces kebab-case for resources, camelCase for fields
- **HTTP Method Usage**: Validates proper use of GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
- **URL Structure**: Analyzes endpoint patterns for consistency and RESTful design
- **Status Code Compliance**: Ensures appropriate HTTP status codes are used
- **Error Response Formats**: Validates consistent error response structures
- **Documentation Coverage**: Checks for missing descriptions and documentation gaps

### 2. Breaking Change Detection
- **Endpoint Removal**: Detects removed or deprecated endpoints
- **Response Shape Changes**: Identifies modifications to response structures

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add seaworld008/commonly-used-high-value-skills/api-design-reviewer@sha256:ed235881cfc758c7

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
