Example session with this skill installed
Review this Express route
app.post('/item', (req, res) => {
const item = db.items.create(req.body);
res.status(200).send(item);
});
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the api design
Stack
Express.js, JavaScript
Audit
- REST: Wrong status code. POST /item returns 200, but should be 201 Created.
- REST: Resource naming. Route is singular '/item', should be plural '/items'.
- Rate Limiting: No middleware detected for this write operation.
Fixes
res.status(201).send(item);

About this skill
The problem
API inconsistencies and anti-patterns often go unnoticed until production, leading to brittle integrations, N+1 performance bottlenecks, and poor developer experiences. Manually checking every route for proper status codes, pagination, and rate limiting is tedious and error-prone.
What it does
- Audits REST, GraphQL, and tRPC code for architectural anti-patterns using a multi-skill detection engine.
- Identifies specific violations like missing pagination, incorrect HTTP status codes, and N+1 resolver loops with line-level citations.
- Generates concrete code fixes using detected frameworks like FastAPI, Express, or Apollo.
- Validates OpenAPI/Swagger schemas for completeness, documentation quality, and security definitions.
- Analyzes rate limiting strategies, suggesting token bucket or sliding window implementations based on your stack.
Frameworks & tools
REST (Express, FastAPI), GraphQL (Apollo, DataLoader), tRPC, OpenAPI 3.0/3.1, Swagger, Zod, and Pydantic.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often miss the nuances of specific protocols, such as RFC 7807 error formats or GraphQL forward compatibility rules. This skill uses a structured matrix to apply deep domain rules specific to your detected stack, ensuring you don't just get "cleaner code" but technically compliant API design.
Use cases
- Reviewing legacy REST controllers for missing idempotency and pagination.
- Fixing N+1 query issues in complex GraphQL resolver chains.
- Converting flat tRPC routers into scalable sub-router architectures.
- Hardening endpoints with RFC-compliant rate limit headers and 429 error handling.
Known limitations
Operates only on provided code and schemas. Does not execute, test, or deploy APIs.
