spekka: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/spekka-backend-api/SKILL.md

Backend API is a skill for Claude Code from johnreitano/spekka. It costs 24 tokens per session (268 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of guidelines for designing backend APIs, the interfaces that let software systems exchange data and actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or changing REST APIs, including resource endpoints, nested data, query parameters, HTTP responses, and rate-limit headers.
Why use it?
It gives developers consistent rules for URLs, versioning, filtering, pagination, errors, and rate limits so clients can use the API predictably.

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

Backend API 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 9d 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

Backend API

This Skill provides Claude Code with specific guidance on how it should handle backend API.

Instructions

  • RESTful Design: Follow REST principles with clear resource-based URLs and appropriate HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE)
  • Consistent Naming: Use consistent, lowercase, hyphenated or underscored naming conventions for endpoints across the API
  • Versioning: Implement API versioning strategy (URL path or headers) to manage breaking changes without disrupting existing clients
  • Plural Nouns: Use plural nouns for resource endpoints (e.g., /users, /products) for consistency
  • Nested Resources: Limit nesting depth to 2-3 levels maximum to keep URLs readable and maintainable
  • Query Parameters: Use query parameters for filtering, sorting, pagination, and search rather than creating separate endpoints
  • HTTP Status Codes: Return appropriate, consistent HTTP status codes that accurately reflect the response (200, 201, 400, 404, 500, etc.)
  • Rate Limiting Headers: Include rate limit information in response headers to help clients manage their usage

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.

Backend API is a skill published in the GitHub repository johnreitano/spekka (5 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 268 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 2026-08-31.
