What this skill does

# API Specification Analyzer

This Skill analyzes OpenAPI specifications to provide accurate API documentation, TypeScript interfaces, and implementation guidance for the caremaster-tenant-frontend project.

## When to use this Skill

Claude should invoke this Skill when:

- User is implementing a new API integration
- User encounters API errors (400 Bad Request, 401 Unauthorized, 404 Not Found, etc.)
- User wants to replace mock API with real backend
- User asks about data types, required fields, or API formats
- User mentions endpoints like "/api/users" or "/api/tenants"
- Before implementing any feature that requires API calls
- When debugging type mismatches between frontend and backend

## Instructions

### Step 1: Fetch API Documentation

Use the MCP server tools to get the OpenAPI specification:

```
mcp__Tenant_Management_Portal_API__read_project_oas_f4bjy4
```

If user requests fresh data or if documentation seems outdated:

```
mcp__Tenant_Management_Portal_API__refresh_project_oas_f4bjy4
```

For referenced schemas (when $ref is used):

```
mcp__Tenant_Management_Portal_API__read_project_oas_ref_resources_f4bjy4
```

### Step 2: Analyze the Specification

Extract the following information for each relevant endpoint:

1. **HTTP Method and Path**: GET /api/users, POST /api/tenants, etc.
2. **Authentication**: Bearer token, API key, etc.
3. **Request Parameters**:
   - Path parameters (e.g., `:id`)
   - Query parameters (e.g., `?page=1&limit=10`)
   - Request body schema
   - Required headers
4. **Response Specification**:
   - Success response structure (200, 201, etc.)
   - Error response formats (400, 401, 404, 500)
   - Status codes and their meanings
5. **Data Types**:
   - Exact types (string, number, boolean, array, object)
   - Format specifications (ISO 8601, UUID, email)
   - Required vs optional fields
   - Enum values and constraints
   - Default values

### Step 3: Generate TypeScript Interfaces

Create ready-to-use TypeScript interfaces that match the API specification exactly:

```typescript
/**
 * User creation input
 * Required fields: email, name, role
 */
export interface UserCreateInput {
	/** User's email address - must be unique */
	email: string
	/** Full name of the user (2-100 characters) */
	name: string
	/** User role - determines access permissions */
	role: "admin" | "manager" | "user"
	/** Account status - defaults to "active" */
	status?: "active" | "inactive"
}

/**
 * User entity returned from API
 */
export interface User {
	/** Unique identifier (UUID format) */
	id: string
	email: string
	name: string
	role: "admin" | "manager" | "user"
	status: "active" | "inactive"
	/** ISO 8601 timestamp */
	createdAt: string
	/** ISO 8601 timestamp */
	updatedAt: string
}
```

### Step 4: Provide Implementation Guidance

#### API Service Pattern

```typescript
// src/api/userApi.ts
export async function createUser(input: UserCreateInput): Promise<User> {
	const response = await fetch("/api/users", {
		method: "POST",
		headers: {
			"Content-Type": "application/json",
			"Authorization": `Bearer ${getToken()}`,
		},
		body: JSON.stringify(input),
	})

	if (!response.ok) {
		const error = await response.json()
		throw new Error(error.message)
	}

	return response.json()
}
```

#### TanStack Query Hook Pattern

```typescript
// src/hooks/useCreateUser.ts
import { useMutation, useQueryClient } from "@tanstack/react-query"
import { createUser } from "@/api/userApi"
import { userKeys } from "@/lib/queryKeys"
import { toast } from "sonner"

export function useCreateUser() {
	const queryClient = useQueryClient()

	return useMutation({
		mutationFn: createUser,
		onSuccess: (newUser) => {
			// Invalidate queries to refetch updated data
			queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: userKeys.all() })
			toast.success("User created successfully")
		},
		onError: (error) => {
			toast.error(`Failed to create user: ${error.message}`)
		},
	})
}
```

#### Query Key Pattern

```typescript
// src/lib/queryKeys.ts
export const userKeys = {
	all: () => ["users"] as const,
	lists: () => [...userKeys.all(), "list"] as const,
	list: (filters: UserFilters) => [...userKeys.lists(), filters] as const,
	details: () => [...userKeys.all(), "detail"] as const,
	detail: (id: string) => [...userKeys.details(), id] as const,
}
```

### Step 5: Document Security and Validation

- **OWASP Considerations**: SQL injection, XSS, CSRF protection
- **Input Validation**: Required field validation, format validation
- **Authentication**: Token handling, refresh logic
- **Error Handling**: Proper HTTP status code handling
- **Rate Limiting**: Retry logic, exponential backoff

### Step 6: Provide Test Recommendations

```typescript
// Example test cases based on API spec
describe("createUser", () => {
	it("should create user with valid data", async () => {
		// Test success case
	})

	it("should reject duplicate email", async () => {
		// Test 409 Conflict
	})

	it("should validate email format", async () => {
		// Test 400 Bad Request
	})

	it("should require authentication", async () => {
		// Test 401 Unauthorized
	})
})
```

## Output Format

Provide analysis in this structure:

```markdown
# API Analysis: [Endpoint Name]

## Endpoint Summary
- **Method**: POST
- **Path**: /api/users
- **Authentication**: Bearer token required

## Request Specification

### Path Parameters
None

### Query Parameters
None

### Request Body
[TypeScript interface]

### Required Headers
- Content-Type: application/json
- Authorization: Bearer {token}

## Response Specification

### Success Response (201)
[TypeScript interface]

## Security Notes
- Validate email format on client and server
- Hash passwords if handling credentials
- Use HTTPS for all requests
- Store tokens securely (httpOnly cookies recommended)

## Integration Checklist
- [ ] Add types to src/types/
- [ ] Create API service in src/api/
- [ ] Add query keys to src/lib/queryKeys.ts
- [ ] Create hooks in src/hooks/
- [ ] Add error handling with toast notifications
- [ ] Test with Vitest
```

## Project Conventions

### Path Aliases
Always use `@/` path alias:
```typescript
import { User } from "@/types/user"
import { createUser } from "@/api/userApi"
```

### Code Style (Biome)
- Tabs for indentation
- Double quotes
- Semicolons optional (only when needed)
- Line width: 100 characters

### File Organization
```
src/
├── types/           # Domain types
│   └── user.ts
├── api/             # API service functions
│   └── userApi.ts
├── hooks/           # TanStack Query hooks
│   └── useUsers.ts
└── lib/
    └── queryKeys.ts # Query key factories
```

## Common Patterns

### Optimistic Updates
```typescript
onMutate: async (newUser) => {
	// Cancel outgoing queries
	await queryClient.cancelQueries({ queryKey: userKeys.lists() })

	// Snapshot previous value
	const previous = queryClient.getQueryData(userKeys.lists())

	// Optimistically update cache
	queryClient.setQueryData(userKeys.lists(), (old) => [...old, newUser])

	return { previous }
},
onError: (err, newUser, context) => {
	// Rollback on error
	queryClient.setQueryData(userKeys.lists(), context.previous)
},
```

### Pagination
```typescript
export const userKeys = {
	list: (page: number, limit: number) =>
		[...userKeys.lists(), { page, limit }] as const,
}
```

### Search and Filters
```typescript
export interface UserFilters {
	search?: string
	role?: UserRole
	status?: Us
