  • Progressive disclosure architecture: metadata is always loaded, core instructions activate when relevant, and detailed resources load on demand for token efficiency
  • Composable with other wshobson/agents plugins like backend-development, database-design, and security-scanning for comprehensive API development workflows

Who is this for?

  • Backend developers who need AI guidance on REST API design, endpoint structure, versioning, and documentation patterns
