backend-api
Design and implement RESTful APIs, GraphQL endpoints, and backend API architecture following modern standards. Use this skill when creating or modifying API endpoints, route handlers, controllers, API middleware, authentication/authorization logic, or any files that define HTTP endpoints such as routes.py, api.js, controllers/, endpoints/, or API specification files (OpenAPI/Swagger). Apply this skill when implementing API versioning, rate limiting, request/response handling, API documentation, or when working with API gateway configurations. This skill is essential for building scalable, secure, and well-documented APIs that follow RESTful principles, handle errors gracefully, and provide consistent developer experiences across microservices and serverless architectures.
