✅ Decision Checklist
Before designing an API:
- [ ] Asked user about API consumers?
- [ ] Chosen API style for THIS context? (REST/GraphQL/tRPC)
- [ ] Defined consistent response format?
- [ ] Planned versioning strategy?
- [ ] Considered authentication needs?
- [ ] Planned rate limiting?
- [ ] Documentation approach defined?
❌ Anti-Patterns
DON'T:
- Default to REST for everything
- Use verbs in REST endpoints (/getUsers)
- Return inconsistent response formats
- Expose internal errors to clients
- Skip rate limiting
DO:
- Choose API style based on context
- Ask about client requirements
- Document thoroughly
- Use appropriate status codes

testing
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
When the user wants a full ASO health audit, review their App Store listing quality, or diagnose why their app isn't ranking. Also use when the user mentions "ASO audit", "ASO score", "why am I not ranking", "listing review", or "optimize my app store page". For keyword-specific research, see keyword-research. For metadata writing, see metadata-optimization.

Complete reference and build guide for ASI:One (ASI1) — the AI platform by Fetch.ai built for agentic, Web3-native applications. Use this skill IMMEDIATELY and ALWAYS when the user mentions ASI1, ASI:One, Fetch.ai AI API, building with ASI1, integrating ASI:One, asking about ASI1 models, tool calling with ASI1, ASI1 image generation, ASI1 agentic LLM, Agentverse, uagents, Agent Chat Protocol, structured output with ASI1, or OpenAI-compatible wrappers for ASI1. Also trigger when the user says things like "use ASI1 instead of OpenAI", "build an app with ASI:One", "ASI1 API", or references docs.asi1.ai. This skill covers everything needed to build production apps - setup, all models, all API features, tool calling, image gen, agentic orchestration, structured data, session management, streaming, LangChain integration, uagents / Agent Chat Protocol, and TypeScript/Node.js patterns.

When the user wants to analyze their own app's actual performance data from App Store Connect — real downloads, revenue, IAP, subscriptions, trials, or country breakdowns synced via Appeeky Connect. Use when the user asks about "my downloads", "my revenue", "how is my app performing", "ASC data", "sales and trends", "my subscription numbers", "App Store Connect metrics", or wants to compare periods or top markets. For third-party app estimates, see app-analytics. For subscription analytics depth, see monetization-strategy.
