api-design

api-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Insajin/autopus-adk. It costs 18 tokens per session (801 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing web APIs—the interfaces that let software systems exchange data—using REST, gRPC, and GraphQL patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning resource URLs, HTTP responses, error formats, pagination, or gRPC service definitions.
Why use it?
It helps keep endpoints, status codes, errors, and pagination consistent as an API grows.

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-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 7d 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.

What it actually says

API Design Skill

확장 가능하고 일관된 API를 설계하는 스킬입니다.

RESTful API 설계 원칙

URL 설계

GET    /api/v1/users          # 목록 조회
GET    /api/v1/users/:id      # 단건 조회
POST   /api/v1/users          # 생성
PUT    /api/v1/users/:id      # 전체 수정
PATCH  /api/v1/users/:id      # 부분 수정
DELETE /api/v1/users/:id      # 삭제

규칙:

  • 복수형 명사 사용 (users, orders)
  • 동사 금지 (/getUsers/users)
  • 계층 관계는 중첩 (/users/:id/orders)
  • 최대 2단계 중첩 (그 이상은 쿼리 파라미터)

HTTP 상태 코드

코드 의미 사용 시점
200 OK 성공 (GET, PUT, PATCH)
201 Created 리소스 생성 (POST)
204 No Content 삭제 성공 (DELETE)
400 Bad Request 요청 데이터 오류
401 Unauthorized 인증 필요
403 Forbidden 권한 없음
404 Not Found 리소스 없음
409 Conflict 상태 충돌
422 Unprocessable 유효성 검증 실패
500 Internal Error 서버 에러

에러 응답 형식

{
  "error": {
    "code": "VALIDATION_FAILED",
    "message": "입력값이 유효하지 않습니다",
    "details": [
      {"field": "email", "reason": "이메일 형식이 아닙니다"}
    ]
  }
}

페이지네이션

GET /api/v1/users?page=2&per_page=20

응답 헤더:

X-Total-Count: 150
Link: <...?page=3>; rel="next", <...?page=1>; rel="prev"

gRPC 설계

Proto 파일 구조

syntax = "proto3";
package api.v1;

service UserService {
  rpc GetUser(GetUserRequest) returns (User);
  rpc ListUsers(ListUsersRequest) returns (ListUsersResponse);
  rpc CreateUser(CreateUserRequest) returns (User);
}

message User {
  string id = 1;
  string name = 2;
  string email = 3;
}

사용 시점

  • 마이크로서비스 간 내부 통신
  • 높은 처리량, 낮은 지연시간 필요 시
  • 양방향 스트리밍 필요 시

API 버전 관리

URL 버전 (권장)

/api/v1/users
/api/v2/users

호환성 규칙

  • 필드 추가: 호환 (기존 클라이언트 영향 없음)
  • 필드 제거: 비호환 (새 버전 필요)
  • 필드 타입 변경: 비호환 (새 버전 필요)
  • 필수 → 선택: 호환
  • 선택 → 필수: 비호환

설계 체크리스트

  • 일관된 URL 패턴
  • 적절한 HTTP 메서드/상태 코드
  • 표준화된 에러 응답
  • 페이지네이션 지원
  • 버전 관리 전략 결정
  • 인증/인가 설계
  • Rate limiting 고려

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-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository Insajin/autopus-adk (109 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 801 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
