Description
api-patterns is an agent skill for API design decisions, tied to the consumers of the API and to its deployment constraints. It helps you choose between REST, GraphQL and tRPC, and it covers response formats, versioning and pagination. The skill is written to teach reasoning rather than to copy fixed patterns. It asks you to think about who will use the API and where it will run before choosing a style. Its content map lists separate guidance for each decision, and it asks the agent to read only the files that match the request rather than all of them. Use it when you are designing a new API, deciding between REST, GraphQL and tRPC for a project, or planning how responses will be paginated and versioned. It is part of the sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills repository on GitHub, which has about 47,600 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 1,400 installs. Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill api-patterns.…
