skills/api-design
# Skill: RESTful API Design & Best Practices # Usage: Use when building robust, scalable, and consumer-friendly web APIs. ## 📡 REST Core Principles - **Statelessness**: Every request from client to server must contain all of the information necessary to understand the request. - **Resource-Based**: APIs should represent entities (resources) using URLs. Nouns, not verbs. - **Standard Methods**: Use HTTP verbs correctly: - `GET`: Retrieve a resource (Safe, Idempotent). - `POST`: Create a new

skills/autonomous-lessons
# synaptic Autonomous Lessons Learned ## [LEARN] Entry from Mission smoke-test-001 ## Analysis of Mission Failure ### Identified Failures: 1. **SyntaxError**: The primary issue was the use of triple backticks (```) instead of triple quotes (`"""`) for the function definition and unit tests. 2. **Repetitive Errors**: Multiple iterations were required to correct the syntax error, indicating a lack of understanding or adherence to Python's syntax rules. ### Synthesized Non-Obvious Lessons: The m
