Comprehensive API Review AI Skill for Code Quality Assurance

Comprehensive API Review AI Skill for Code Quality Assurance

This AI skill is designed to facilitate HTTP API review processes during pull request assessments or change sets. Its evaluation criteria encompass endpoints, routes, HTTP methods, status codes, idempotency, and input validation, which ensure that the designated API is regarded as a consumer-facing contract. The AI skill identifies possible issues regarding resource-orientation, method semantics, status codes, and trust boundary violations, while maintaining a read-only stance.

What this skill does

• Applies the @rules/api/general.mdc for targeted API review according to predefined standards.
• Incorporates @rules/php/core-standards.mdc to maintain PHP coding practices.
• Ensures security compliance by enforcing @rules/security/backend.md to prevent sensitive information leaks via API responses.
• If using Laravel, also implements @rules/laravel/architecture.mdc and @rules/laravel/laravel.mdc to ensure optimal application of validation and controller structures.
• Generates findings as a read-only output, which integrate with GitHub PR comments while maintaining proper English as per @rules/reports/general.mdc.

Who it is for

This skill is intended for software developers and development teams utilizing AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex, who are focused on improving the quality and consistency of HTTP API designs during the code review process.

Use cases

• Reviewing API integrations as part of a pull request to ensure compliance with company coding standards.
• Conducting security audits on API endpoints to identify and report any issues in compliance with best practices.
• Providing a structured review methodology for maintaining compliance across different project technology stacks, including PHP and Laravel.

Technical details

The AI skill utilizes capabilities such as agent-skills and aiapplication designed specifically for reviewing and improving API design standards. It supports integration with GitHub for reporting findings within pull requests, ensuring seamless collaboration and documentation of code quality assurance processes. This tool is a read-only capability, fully compliant with designated security and code guidelines.
