generating-rest-apis

Quick Review

This skill provides a well-structured framework for generating REST APIs with clear prerequisites, instructions, and outputs. The description adequately conveys the skill's purpose (generating APIs from OpenAPI specs or DB schemas), and the multi-step workflow covers planning, implementation, and testing phases. Structure is clean with appropriate delegation to reference files. However, novelty is limited—generating REST API boilerplate is a common task that modern frameworks and CLI tools (like openapi-generator, swagger-codegen) already handle efficiently. A CLI agent could reasonably scaffold basic REST APIs using standard tools without consuming excessive tokens. The skill adds value through its comprehensive workflow and cross-framework support, but doesn't represent a particularly complex or cost-saving automation compared to existing tooling.
