architect/data-api-design

architect/data-api-design is a skill for Claude Code from echoVic/boss-skill. It costs 26 tokens per session (3,136 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing data models and application programming interfaces (APIs), which are the rules software uses to exchange data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify entities, define one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many relationships, draw entity-relationship diagrams, and specify APIs.
Why use it?
It helps turn product requirements into clear database tables, relationships, constraints, and request and response formats.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

architect/data-api-design 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 19d ago.

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.

数据模型与API设计方法论

适用场景

在系统架构确定后,需要设计:

  • 数据库表结构和关系
  • 数据字典和约束
  • API接口规范
  • 请求/响应格式

数据模型设计

1. 实体识别

从PRD中识别核心实体(名词):

示例:

  • 用户系统:User(用户)、Role(角色)、Permission(权限)
  • 博客系统:User(用户)、Post(文章)、Comment(评论)、Tag(标签)
  • 电商系统:User(用户)、Product(商品)、Order(订单)、OrderItem(订单项)

2. 关系识别

确定实体之间的关系:

关系类型 说明 示例
一对一 (1:1) 一个A对应一个B User - Profile
一对多 (1:N) 一个A对应多个B User - Post
多对多 (M:N) 多个A对应多个B Post - Tag

关系表示:

  • ||--o{: 一对多
  • ||--||: 一对一
  • }o--o{: 多对多

3. 实体关系图 (ERD)

使用 Mermaid 绘制 ERD:

erDiagram
    User ||--o{ Post : creates
    User ||--o{ Comment : writes
    Post ||--o{ Comment : has
    Post }o--o{ Tag : has

    User {
        uuid id PK
        string email UK
        string name
        string passwordHash
        enum role
        datetime createdAt
        datetime updatedAt
    }

    Post {
        uuid id PK
        uuid authorId FK
        string title
        text content
        enum status
        datetime publishedAt
        datetime createdAt
        datetime updatedAt
    }

    Comment {
        uuid id PK
        uuid postId FK
        uuid userId FK
        text content
        datetime createdAt
    }

    Tag {
        uuid id PK
        string name UK
    }

4. 数据字典

为每个表定义详细的字段信息:

User 表
字段 类型 约束 默认值 说明
id UUID PK uuid_generate_v4() 主键
email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE, NOT NULL - 邮箱,用于登录
name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL - 用户名
passwordHash VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL - 密码哈希(bcrypt)
role ENUM('user', 'admin') NOT NULL 'user' 用户角色
createdAt TIMESTAMP NOT NULL NOW() 创建时间
updatedAt TIMESTAMP NOT NULL NOW() 更新时间

索引:

  • idx_user_email: email(唯一索引,用于登录查询)
  • idx_user_role: role(用于角色筛选)
Post 表
字段 类型 约束 默认值 说明
id UUID PK uuid_generate_v4() 主键
authorId UUID FK, NOT NULL - 作者ID,外键关联User.id
title VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL - 文章标题
content TEXT NOT NULL - 文章内容
status ENUM('draft', 'published', 'archived') NOT NULL 'draft' 文章状态
publishedAt TIMESTAMP NULL - 发布时间
createdAt TIMESTAMP NOT NULL NOW() 创建时间
updatedAt TIMESTAMP NOT NULL NOW() 更新时间

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.

architect/data-api-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository echoVic/boss-skill (543 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 3,136 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
