Monitoring Apis
Overview
This skill provides automated assistance for api monitoring dashboard tasks. This skill provides automated assistance for the described functionality.
Prerequisites
Before using this skill, ensure you have:
- API design specifications or requirements documented
- Development environment with necessary frameworks installed
- Database or backend services accessible for integration
- Authentication and authorization strategies defined
- Testing tools and environments configured
Instructions
- Use Read tool to examine existing API specifications from {baseDir}/api-specs/
- Define resource models, endpoints, and HTTP methods
- Document request/response schemas and data types
- Identify authentication and authorization requirements
- Plan error handling and validation strategies
- Generate boilerplate code using Bash(api:monitor-*) with framework scaffolding
- Implement endpoint handlers with business logic
- Add input validation and schema enforcement
- Integrate authentication and authorization middleware
- Configure database connections and ORM models
- Write integration tests covering all endpoints
See {baseDir}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.
