At a glance

A skill your agent uses when designing RESTful API endpoints in FastAPI or Python projects.

  • Designing RESTful API endpoints in FastAPI
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Reference, URL Naming Conventions, HTTP Status Codes and Request Validation Patterns, plus 6 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder
  • Python projects

What it does

API Route Design is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Use when designing RESTful API endpoints in FastAPI or Python projects. Triggers for: creating GET/POST/PUT/DELETE endpoints, request validation with Pydantic, response formatting with JSON schemas, status code selection, pagination, filtering, or sorting parameters. NOT for: GraphQL APIs, WebSocket handlers, or non-RESTful endpoints.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/verify.py` and `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs, Backend development and GraphQL. It works with Pydantic, FastAPI and Python. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Designing RESTful API endpoints in FastAPI
  • Python projects
  • : creating GET/POST/PUT/DELETE endpoints
  • Request validation with Pydantic

Example prompts

  • “/api-route-design”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

API Route Design loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 265 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 265 words (~1,949 tokens).

“Expert design and implementation of RESTful APIs with proper validation, response formatting, and HTTP semantics.”
