| name | Backend API |
| description | Design and implement RESTful API endpoints following REST principles with consistent naming conventions, proper HTTP methods, versioning strategies, and appropriate status codes. Use this skill when creating new API endpoints, designing API route structures, implementing API controllers or routes, defining API versioning strategies, setting up API rate limiting, or working with query parameters for filtering, sorting, and pagination. This skill applies when working on routes/api.php files, API controller files, API resource transformers, or any backend code that exposes HTTP API endpoints to clients. |
Backend API
When to use this skill
- When creating new RESTful API endpoints for your application
- When designing API route structures and URL patterns
- When implementing API controllers (e.g., app/Http/Controllers/Api/)
- When defining API versioning strategies (URL-based or header-based)
- When setting up API rate limiting and throttling
- When working with query parameters for filtering, sorting, and pagination
- When defining HTTP status codes for API responses
- When working on routes/api.php or similar API route definition files
- When creating API resource transformers or response formatters
- When implementing nested resource endpoints
- When designing consistent API naming conventions
This Skill provides Claude Code with specific guidance on how to adhere to coding standards as they relate to how it should handle backend API.
