Windsurf Api Development
Overview
This skill enables AI-assisted API development workflows within Windsurf. Cascade can generate type-safe API clients from OpenAPI/Swagger specs, create comprehensive API documentation, design REST and GraphQL schemas, and produce SDKs for multiple languages. It accelerates API development from design through implementation to documentation.
Prerequisites
- Windsurf IDE with Cascade enabled
- OpenAPI/Swagger specification or API endpoints
- Target language runtime (Node.js, Python, etc.)
- Understanding of API design patterns
- Documentation requirements defined
Instructions
- Define API Specification
- Generate Clients
- Implement Endpoints
- Create Documentation
- Test and Validate
See {baseDir}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.
Output
- Generated API clients (TypeScript, Python, etc.)
- Type definitions and schemas
- API reference documentation
- Quick start guides and examples
