api-design-reviewer

api-design-reviewer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from oxbshw/LLM-Agents-Ecosystem-Handbook. It costs 35 tokens per session (530 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review checklist for proposed REST or GraphQL API changes. An API is a defined way for software systems to exchange data; REST and GraphQL are two common ways to design those interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Review an OpenAPI document, GraphQL schema, or design document for naming, resource structure, errors, pagination, access control, idempotency, and versioning.
Why use it?
It helps catch unclear contracts, breaking changes, incomplete error handling, missing pagination, and undocumented authentication before implementation or merge. It also separates serious issues from smaller style concerns.

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-reviewer 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 12d 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 Reviewer

When to use

  • A new endpoint / mutation / schema is being proposed
  • A breaking change is on the table
  • An API draft needs a second pair of eyes before stakeholder review

When NOT to use

  • Pure implementation details (use repo-auditor)
  • UI / UX feedback
  • Cost / SLA tradeoffs (those need product discussion)

Inputs

Name Type Required Notes
spec path or text yes OpenAPI / GraphQL SDL / Markdown design doc
mode "public" | "internal" no Default internal. public raises the bar on backwards-compat.

Outputs

A Markdown review with sections: Critical, Important, Nits, Open questions.

Workflow

  1. Parse the spec; list the operations / types touched
  2. For each operation, walk references/api-review-checklist.md:
    • Naming consistent with neighbors?
    • Resource model coherent?
    • Errors enumerated and typed?
    • Pagination present (where lists are returned)?
    • Auth + authz documented?
    • Idempotency on writes?
    • Versioning strategy?
  3. For breaking changes, surface the contract delta explicitly
  4. Group findings into Critical (blockers), Important (should fix), Nits (style)
  5. Append Open questions for the author

References

Success criteria

  • 0 fabricated findings (every finding cites a section of the spec)
  • Critical/Important findings have a concrete suggested fix
  • Tone is collegial, not pedantic

Failure modes

  • Spec too large (> 200 ops) → split into modules and ask the author which to focus on
  • Internal jargon in the spec without definitions → list as Open questions, don't guess

Examples

  • Good: "Critical — GET /users returns an unbounded list. Add cursor pagination (suggested: ?cursor=...&limit=...)."
  • Bad: "I think pagination might be useful here."
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
