audit-fe-api

audit-fe-api is a skill for Claude Code from kensaurus/cursor-kenji. It costs 52 tokens per session (3,324 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of the requests made by a frontend and the API routes implemented by the backend, checking that both sides agree.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare frontend call sites with backend endpoints and investigate contract mismatches, missing routes, typing gaps, and caching issues.
Why use it?
It finds mismatched URLs, methods, parameters, response types, and missing routes before they become broken user actions.

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

audit-fe-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 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.

Frontend API Audit Skill

Degree of freedom: MIXED — Steps 0, 1, 3–6 [HIGH freedom]; Step 2 Sentry queries and schema SQL [LOW freedom — run exactly].

Read-only. Present findings; the Phase 6 snippets are the fix shape to recommend, not edits to make in this pass.

How to reason

  1. Observe — quote the FE call site, BE route, and response/error
  2. Interpret — does the contract match (path, method, params, types)?
  3. Classify — missing route / mismatch / untyped / cache-gap / correct
  4. Severity — 404/401/type-mismatch in prod = Critical; cache/prefetch = opportunity

Worked example

Observe: useUser GETs /api/users/${id}; no app/api/users/[id]/route.ts; Sentry 25× 404 in 14d. Interpret: FE calls a route the BE never registered. Classify: missing route (Critical). Severity: Critical — guaranteed 404. Finding: hooks/useUser.ts | GET /api/users/:id | Critical | no BE route.

Self-critique before reporting [LOW freedom — do not skip]

  1. Evidenced — FE file + BE route or Sentry event, not "probably 500"
  2. Contract, not taste — staleTime advice needs a freshness reason
  3. Severity justified — Critical = broken contract in prod
  4. Right owner — live 4xx/5xx repro → debug-fe-be-integration; DB shape → audit-db-schema
  5. Both sides named — every mismatch lists FE file and BE path (or NOT FOUND)
