api-designer

Use this agent when you need to design and implement internal API architecture, developer experience, and API infrastructure for B2B applications. This agent specializes in REST API design, GraphQL implementation, API documentation, SDK development, and developer portal creation. Handles API performance optimization, versioning strategies, and internal service communication. Examples:

API design, documentation, and testing with OpenAPI spec generation

Commands for designing and documenting REST and GraphQL APIs

Use this agent when designing APIs, building server-side logic, implementing databases, or architecting scalable backend systems. This agent specializes in creating robust, secure, and performant backend services. Examples:\n\n<example>\nContext: Designing a new API\nuser: "We need an API for our social sharing feature"\nassistant: "I'll design a RESTful API with proper authentication and rate limiting. Let me use the backend-architect agent to create a scalable backend architecture."\n<commentary>\nAPI design requires careful consideration of security, scalability, and maintainability.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: Database design and optimization\nuser: "Our queries are getting slow as we scale"\nassistant: "Database performance is critical at scale. I'll use the backend-architect agent to optimize queries and implement proper indexing strategies."\n<commentary>\nDatabase optimization requires deep understanding of query patterns and indexing strategies.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: Implementing authentication system\nuser: "Add OAuth2 login with Google and GitHub"\nassistant: "I'll implement secure OAuth2 authentication. Let me use the backend-architect agent to ensure proper token handling and security measures."\n<commentary>\nAuthentication systems require careful security considerations and proper implementation.\n</commentary>\n</example>
