Backend API
Design and implement RESTful API endpoints following REST principles with resource-based URLs, appropriate HTTP methods, and consistent naming conventions. Use this skill when creating or modifying API route handlers, endpoint definitions, or REST controllers in files like routes.py, api.ts, controllers/, handlers/, or when implementing HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE). Also applies when working on API versioning, request/response validation, status code handling, rate limiting, or any backend endpoint logic that serves HTTP requests to frontend clients or external systems.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Backend API ## When to use this skill - When creating or modifying route handlers in files like `routes.py`, `api.ts`, `routes.js`, `app.py`, or `server.ts` - When working in controller or handler directories like `controllers/`, `handlers/`, `routes/`, or `api/` - When implementing HTTP method handlers (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE) for any resource - When defining RESTful resource endpoints like `/users`, `/products`, `/orders` or nested resources like `/users/:id/posts` - When adding API versioning strategies (URL-based like `/v1/users` or header-based) - When implementing query parameter handling for filtering, sorting, pagination, or search functionality - When setting up rate limiting, request validation, or response formatting middleware - When working on files that return HTTP status codes (200, 201, 400, 404, 500, etc.) to clients - When creating backend services that serve JSON responses to frontend applications or mobile apps - When building public or internal APIs consumed by external systems or microservices # Backend API 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. ##

What does the Backend API skill do?
Design and implement RESTful API endpoints following REST principles with resource-based URLs, appropriate HTTP methods, and consistent naming conventions. Use this skill when creating or modifying API route handlers, endpoint definitions, or REST controllers in files like routes.py, api.ts, controllers/, handlers/, or when implementing HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE).

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill backend-api-grimmolf-mga-soap-calculator --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.
