About
This skill helps developers design APIs by first creating OpenAPI/AsyncAPI specifications, contracts, and mocks. It's used to establish a clear contract between services before implementation begins, ensuring alignment. The process includes clarifying requirements, reviewing system constraints, and producing the necessary design artifacts.
