api-platform-identifiers

api-platform-identifiers is a skill for Claude Code from gerard-labs/superpowers-api-platform. It costs 0 tokens per session (710 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for designing identifiers in API Platform 4.3, the PHP framework for building web APIs. It covers UUIDs, ULIDs, numbers, strings, dates, slugs, and combinations of identifiers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Defining identifiers for new resources, changing numeric IDs to UUIDs or ULIDs, exposing slugs, modeling combined IDs, and converting URL values into typed objects.
Why use it?
It helps choose identifiers that fit URL design, database storage, pagination, and protection against predictable resource numbers.

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-platform-identifiers 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

API Platform 4.3 — Identifiers (UUID v7, ULID, composite, custom)

Use when

  • Designing a new resource: should the identifier be a sequential int, a UUID, a ULID, or a slug?
  • Switching an existing resource from auto-increment to UUID v7 (anti-enumeration + cursor pagination).
  • Modeling a composite identifier (/customer/{customerId}/order/{orderId}).
  • Exposing a slug as the public identifier while keeping an internal numeric ID.
  • Customizing how an identifier is parsed from the URI or rendered in the response.

Default workflow

  1. Default to UUID v7 (Symfony\Component\Uid\Uuid::v7()) on public resources — chronologically sortable + non-enumerable.
  2. Annotate the identifier with #[ApiProperty(identifier: true)] and persist it as a native uuid column (PostgreSQL) or as a ulid column.
  3. For composite identifiers, declare them in uriVariables with Link(fromClass: …, identifiers: ['id']).
  4. For custom identifiers (slug), set #[ApiProperty(identifier: true)] on the slug and #[ApiProperty(identifier: false)] on the auto-increment id.
  5. Decorate UriVariableTransformerInterface only when the string-to-typed-object conversion is non-trivial.

Guardrails

  • No sequential auto-increment IDs on public resources. Volume leakage + enumeration.
  • UUID v7 > UUID v4 for any resource where chronological ordering helps (cursor pagination, B-tree indexing).
  • Native DB column types: uuid (PostgreSQL) instead of varchar(36) — better indexing, smaller storage.
  • Composite identifiers must be stable — never reuse a (customerId, orderId) pair.

Progressive disclosure

  • SKILL.md covers the decision tree.
  • reference.md carries the full catalog (supported types), UUID v7 + cursor pagination wiring, composite identifiers with Link, custom slug pattern, UriVariableTransformerInterface and IdentifiersExtractorInterface recipes.

Output contract

  • Public resources use UUID v7 / ULID / slug — no exposed auto-increment.
  • Composite identifiers declared via Link(uriVariables: …, identifiers: […]).
  • DB columns use native types where supported.
  • Tests assert the IRI shape (UUID format, slug format) instead of integer matching.

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-platform-identifiers is a skill published in the GitHub repository gerard-labs/superpowers-api-platform (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 710 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 2026-08-31.
