Backend API
Design and implement RESTful API endpoints following best practices for URL structure, HTTP methods, status codes, versioning, and rate limiting. Use this skill when creating or modifying API routes, controllers, endpoint handlers, or route files. When working on files like routes.ts, api/*.ts, controllers/*.ts, endpoints/*.py, views.py, or any server-side request handlers. When designing resource URLs, implementing CRUD operations, adding query parameters for filtering/sorting/pagination, or setting up API versioning. When reviewing or refactoring existing API code for REST compliance.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill backend-api-mshafei721-turbocat --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.
## When to use this skill: - When creating new API endpoints or routes - When modifying existing endpoint handlers or controllers - When working on files in api/, routes/, controllers/, or endpoints/ directories - When implementing CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) - When adding filtering, sorting, or pagination to endpoints - When setting up API versioning (URL path or header-based) - When choosing HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE) - When determining appropriate HTTP status codes for responses - When designing resource-based URL structures - When implementing rate limiting headers - When reviewing API code for RESTful best practices # 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. ## 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-mshafei721-turbocat --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.
