adding-api-endpoints

A workflow for adding an API feature across the whole application. It connects shared data rules, the NestJS backend, the browser interface, and the React component that uses the new endpoint.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add a new API endpoint from database access and server logic through query hooks and a React user interface.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that a new endpoint is only partly implemented or that the frontend and backend disagree about data, permissions, responses, or refresh behavior.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

adding-api-endpoints 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 2d 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.

Task

Add API endpoint: $ARGUMENTS


Adding API Endpoints (Full-Stack)

Workflow

- [ ] Step 1: Define Zod schema in packages/shared
- [ ] Step 2: Add or confirm permission coverage
- [ ] Step 3: Add repository method in apps/api
- [ ] Step 4: Add service method in apps/api
- [ ] Step 5: Add controller endpoint with Swagger
- [ ] Step 6: Create TanStack Query hook in apps/web
- [ ] Step 7: Create React component consuming the hook

Conventions

  • Permissions: Follow the permission-guidelines skill
  • Query keys: [resource] for lists, [resource, id] for single items
  • Mutations: Always invalidateQueries on success
  • API client: Centralized Axios instance at apps/web/src/lib/api-client.ts
  • Response envelope: Backend wraps in { data, status, message }. Access r.data.data in hooks.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
