Description

Executive summary: A rigorous API design system with OpenAPI patterns, mock servers, contract linting, and change-management gates.

What’s inside (modules):
– OpenAPI Skeletons: pagination, filtering, error envelopes, idempotency keys, cursor windows.
– Security Recipes: OAuth2 flows, JWT claims, scopes, rate-limit headers.
– Mocking & Tests: Prism mock server configs; Postman collections with negative/edge tests.
– Governance: Spectral rulesets; OpenAPI-Diff CI step for breaking-change detection; MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH versioning guidelines.
– SDK Starters: Typed client stubs (TypeScript, Python), retry policies, backoff.

Technical specifications:
– Artifacts: .yaml OpenAPI, Spectral .json, Postman .json, Dockerfiles for Prism, docs.
– CI: GitHub/GitLab workflows to lint, diff, and publish artifacts.

Setup & integration:
– Import base spec; customize resources; run ‘make mock’ to boot Prism.
– Wire Spectral in CI; publish Postman collections.

KPIs & ROI:
– ~30% faster API iteration; near-zero breaking changes on MINOR bumps; fewer support tickets from ambiguous contracts.
