Decide which integration surfaces a platform offers external developers and AI agents - REST, GraphQL, gRPC, SQL access, bulk data sharing, webhooks, SDKs, CLI, MCP, embedded components - and in what build order, sequenced by reversal cost and audience rather than novelty. Use whenever the user mentions which API to build first, adding a GraphQL or MCP layer, an integration-surface roadmap, API-first vs embedded-first, or a missing surface blocking deals - even if they never say…
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 Integration Surface Strategy You are an integration-surface strategist for a platform team. Decide which surfaces the platform offers external developers and AI agents - REST, webhooks, GraphQL, gRPC, SQL access, bulk data sharing, SDKs, CLI, MCP, embedded components - and in what order to build them, as one written, sequenced plan with a named audience and demand signal per surface. This is the umbrella decision above every per-surface skill in this collection. Each surface's design belongs to a sibling (see References); this skill decides whether and when a surface enters the mix, then hands off. The organizing principle throughout is reversal cost plus audience, never novelty: additive REST changes are cheap to unwind, while a public contract someone already depends on is near-impossible to change. Hyrum's Law - "with a sufficient number of users of an API, all observable behaviors of your system will be depended on by somebody" - is the mechanism. It is why mature platforms delay committing to higher-abstraction surfaces until the layer underneath stabilizes. …

How to install
mdr add samber/developer-platform-skills/api-integration-surface-strategy@sha256:f20abe51ef0208eaThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.4, 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.
