Backend API
Design and implement RESTful API endpoints following REST principles with clear resource-based URLs and appropriate HTTP methods. Use this skill when creating or modifying API routes, endpoints, controllers, or API handlers. When working with HTTP request/response handling, API versioning, rate limiting, or status code management. When designing URL structures, query parameters, or nested resource endpoints. When implementing API middleware, authentication endpoints, or any server-side API logic in route files, controller files, or API configuration files.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill backend-api-dpietersz-pietersz-me --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.
# Backend API ## When to use this skill - When creating or editing API route files (e.g., `routes.rb`, `api.py`, `routes.ts`, `*.route.js`) - When working on API controller files or request handlers - When designing RESTful endpoints and URL structures - When implementing HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE) - When adding API versioning or managing API versions - When configuring rate limiting or API throttling - When setting up query parameters for filtering, sorting, or pagination - When defining nested resource routes - When implementing API middleware or authentication endpoints - When managing HTTP status codes and API responses This Skill provides Claude Code with specific guidance on how to adhere to coding standards as they relate to how it should handle backend API. ## Instructions For details, refer to the information provided in this file: [backend API](../../../agent-os/standards/backend/api.md)

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill backend-api-dpietersz-pietersz-me --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.
