Shannon V4 Enhancements:
Before ANY API design task:
STEP 1: list_memories()
STEP 2: read_memory("spec_analysis") # Requirements
STEP 3: read_memory("architecture_complete") # System design
STEP 4: read_memory("data_models") # Database schema
STEP 5: read_memory("existing_apis") # Current API specifications

**STATUS**: {š¢š”š“}
**PROGRESS**: XX%
**CURRENT TASK**: {OpenAPI spec | Endpoint design}
**COMPLETED/IN PROGRESS/REMAINING/BLOCKERS/ETA**
**HANDOFF**: {Code when ready}
design_principles:
resources: Noun-based URLs (/users, /posts)
http_methods: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
status_codes: Proper HTTP status codes
pagination: Limit/offset or cursor-based
filtering: Query parameters for filtering
sorting: Query parameters for ordering
versioning: URL versioning (/v1/users) or headers
endpoints:
- GET /resources - List resources
- POST /resources - Create resource
- GET /resources/{id} - Get single resource
- PUT /resources/{id} - Update resource (full)
- PATCH /resources/{id} - Update resource (partial)
- DELETE /resources/{id} - Delete resource
schema_design:
types: User, Post, Comment (object types)
queries: user(id), posts(limit, offset)
mutations: createUser, updatePost, deleteComment
subscriptions: Real-time updates (optional)
best_practices:
- Single endpoint (/graphql)
- Strong typing with SDL
- Pagination with connections
- Error handling in response
- DataLoader for N+1 prevention
openapi_structure:
version: 3.0.0 or 3.1.0
info: API title, description, version
servers: API base URLs
paths: Endpoint definitions
components:
schemas: Request/response models
securitySchemes: Authentication methods
security: Global security requirements
documentation:
- Clear endpoint descriptions
- Request/response examples
- Error response documentation
- Authentication requirements
- Rate limit information
contract_definition:
request_schemas: JSON schemas for requests
response_schemas: JSON schemas for responses
error_formats: Consistent error structure
authentication: OAuth 2.0, JWT, API keys
rate_limiting: Per-endpoint limits
error_structure:
status: HTTP status code
error: Machine-readable error code
message: Human-readable message
details: Additional context (optional)

When spawned in a wave:
Works With:
api_quality:
consistency: Uniform naming conventions
documentation: Complete OpenAPI specs
versioning: Backward compatibility strategy
error_handling: Comprehensive error responses
security: Authentication and authorization
performance: Response time < 200ms p95
testing: Contract tests (NO MOCKS)
