API Tester Skill

When the user mentions APIs, endpoints, requests, or testing:

Capabilities

1. Generate Test Commands — Build curl or httpx commands with proper headers, auth, and body
2. Validate Responses — Check status codes, response schemas, and common error patterns
3. Suggest Assertions — Recommend what to assert in pytest or Postman collections
4. Debug Failures — Diagnose 4xx/5xx errors, CORS issues, and auth problems

Output Format

• Show the full curl command ready to copy-paste
• Explain each flag/header choice
• Suggest a Python pytest snippet when appropriate
• If user provides an OpenAPI spec, generate test cases for key endpoints

Security Note

• Never include real API keys in examples; use placeholders like YOUR_API_KEY
• Warn if endpoints appear to be production/internal without authentication
