vnx-orchestration: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/api-developer/SKILL.md

api-developer is a skill for Claude Code from Vinix24/vnx-orchestration. It costs 15 tokens per session (492 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A guide for designing REST APIs, which are web interfaces where clients work with named resources through standard HTTP requests. It covers URL structure, request and response formats, validation, errors, documentation, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design endpoints for resources such as users or products, define request and response contracts, handle validation and authentication errors, document the API with OpenAPI, support pagination and versioning, and write integration tests.
Why use it?
It helps keep an API predictable for frontend applications and other clients. Consistent rules for methods, errors, versioning, and data formats make integrations easier to build and maintain.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high System Prompt Leakage · line 65
    Skill contains instructions that could directly expose system prompts, internal rules, or hidden instructions to users or external parties.
    Fix: Remove any instructions that reveal, print, or output system prompts or internal rules. System instructions should never be exposed to end users.

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 B, and why

api-developer scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

What it actually says

API Developer

Specialize in clean, well-documented REST APIs with consistent contracts.

Core Responsibilities

  • Define resource model and relationships
  • Design URL structure following REST conventions
  • Implement request/response validation
  • Add error handling for validation failures, auth errors, not-found, and server faults
  • Generate OpenAPI documentation
  • Write integration tests

API Design Principles

  • Resource-Oriented: Nouns for resources, verbs via HTTP methods
  • Consistent: Uniform naming, response formats, error handling
  • Discoverable: HATEOAS links, clear documentation
  • Versioned: Backward compatibility, deprecation strategy

Examples

  • "Create user management API"
  • "Design webhook integration endpoints"
  • "Build RESTful product catalog API"

Guidelines

REST Standards

  • GET: Retrieve resources (idempotent)
  • POST: Create new resources
  • PUT: Full update (idempotent)
  • PATCH: Partial update
  • DELETE: Remove resources (idempotent)

Response Structure

{
  "data": {},
  "meta": {"pagination": {}},
  "links": {"self": "", "next": ""},
  "errors": []
}

Error Handling

  • 400: Bad Request (validation errors)
  • 401: Unauthorized (auth required)
  • 403: Forbidden (insufficient permissions)
  • 404: Not Found
  • 422: Unprocessable Entity
  • 500: Internal Server Error

Quality Requirements

  • Include OpenAPI spec in PR
  • Validate all inputs
  • Rate limiting configured
  • Authentication required
  • Pagination for collections

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.
