api-creation-guide

A set of rules for adding API calls to a Jetpack Compose Android app using MVVM, a structure that separates the screen, its state holder, and data operations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding an API endpoint, connecting it to a ViewModel, creating data flows, checking imports and versions, or binding API results to a responsive screen.
Why use it?
It helps place API functions and response-handling flows in the existing interfaces and ViewModels, while keeping implementations aligned with API documentation and project conventions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

api-creation-guide scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

API Creation Guide Rules

Overview

This rule provides guidelines for adding API call logic based on API documentation following MVVM architecture and Material3 guidelines. Reference the detailed guide from CreateAPIGuide.md.

Requirements

API Call Function

  • Write API call functions that match the API documentation
  • Follow the rules specified in Create API and UI Binding Guide

Constraints

  1. Imports: Check existing versions and use appropriate import statements
  2. Responsiveness: Code must be responsive
  3. API Documentation: Required for implementation

Expected Results

API Interface

  • API functions added to appropriate API interface
  • Explore existing API interfaces and add functions to appropriate locations
  • Avoid creating new interfaces when possible

ViewModel Integration

  • API call functions exist in appropriate ViewModel
  • Avoid creating new ViewModels when possible
  • Reuse existing ViewModels that handle similar functionality

Flow Implementation

  • Add flows that match API documentation
  • Use Any type for responses when specific response handling is not needed
  • Follow existing patterns in the codebase

Implementation Guidelines

  • Ensure all implementations are consistent with existing project patterns and rules
  • Follow MVVM architecture and Material3 guidelines
  • Maintain code consistency and readability
  • Use proper error handling and loading states

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

api-creation-guide is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository HeeGyeong/ComposeSample (11 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 331 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
