API design and implementation across REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and tRPC patterns. Use when building backend services, public APIs, or service-to-service communication. Covers REST frameworks (FastAPI, Axum, Gin, Hono), GraphQL libraries (Strawberry, async-graphql, gqlgen, Pothos), gRPC (Tonic, Connect-Go), tRPC for TypeScript, pagination strategies (cursor-based, offset-based), rate limiting, caching, versioning, and OpenAPI documentation generation. Includes frontend integration patterns for forms,…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'implementing-api-patterns' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'implementing-api-patterns' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named implementing-api-patterns already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/ancoleman/ai-design-components' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '76551b7b19ebc667764ec75da14990d0aef8b6e5' -- 'skills/implementing-api-patterns' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/implementing-api-patterns' ~/.agents/skills/'implementing-api-patterns' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'implementing-api-patterns' ~/.claude/skills/'implementing-api-patterns' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
