api-cms-strapi
Open-source headless CMS — content type schemas, REST API, Document Service API, custom controllers, lifecycle hooks, authentication, TypeScript
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill api-cms-strapi --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Strapi Patterns > **Quick Guide:** Use Strapi as an open-source headless CMS with auto-generated REST/GraphQL APIs from content type schemas. In v5, use the Document Service API (`strapi.documents()`) for back-end data access instead of the deprecated Entity Service. REST API responses use a flat format (`data.fieldName`, not `data.attributes.fieldName`). Relations and media are NOT populated by default -- always pass `populate`. Use `qs` to build complex query strings. Content types are private by default; configure permissions via the Users & Permissions plugin or API tokens. --- <critical_requirements> ## CRITICAL: Before Using This Skill > **All code must follow project conventions in CLAUDE.md** (kebab-case, named exports, import ordering, `import type`, named constants) **(You MUST use `strapi.documents('api::content-type.content-type')` (Document Service API) for all back-end data access in Strapi v5 -- the Entity Service API is removed)** **(You MUST always pass `populate` when you need relations, media, components, or dynamic zones -- Strapi returns NO relations by default)** **(You MUST use the `qs` library to build complex REST API query strings with filters, populate,

What does the api-cms-strapi skill do?
Open-source headless CMS — content type schemas, REST API, Document Service API, custom controllers, lifecycle hooks, authentication, TypeScript
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill api-cms-strapi --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
