api-dev
Scaffold, test, document, and debug REST and GraphQL APIs. Use when the user needs to create API endpoints, write integration tests, generate OpenAPI specs, test with curl, mock APIs, or troubleshoot HTTP issues.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill api-dev-broedkrummen-openclaw-skills --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.
# API Development Build, test, document, and debug HTTP APIs from the command line. Covers the full API lifecycle: scaffolding endpoints, testing with curl, generating OpenAPI docs, mocking services, and debugging. ## When to Use - Scaffolding new REST or GraphQL endpoints - Testing APIs with curl or scripts - Generating or validating OpenAPI/Swagger specs - Mocking external APIs for development - Debugging HTTP request/response issues - Load testing endpoints ## Testing APIs with curl ### GET requests ```bash # Basic GET curl -s https://api.example.com/users | jq . # With headers curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \ -H "Accept: application/json" \ https://api.example.com/users | jq . # With query params curl -s "https://api.example.com/users?page=2&limit=10" | jq . # Show response headers too curl -si https://api.example.com/users ``` ### POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE ```bash # POST JSON curl -s -X POST https://api.example.com/users \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \ -d '{"name": "Alice", "email": "alice@example.com"}' | jq . # PUT (full replace) curl -s -X PUT https://api.example.com/users/123 \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"n

What does the api-dev skill do?
Scaffold, test, document, and debug REST and GraphQL APIs. Use when the user needs to create API endpoints, write integration tests, generate OpenAPI specs, test with curl, mock APIs, or troubleshoot HTTP issues.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill api-dev-broedkrummen-openclaw-skills --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.
