* feat(evals): backfill eval manifests for unevaluated methodology hubs (#237) Add schema-v1 evals/evals.json manifests (>=5 output-quality cases each, canonical assertions field) to the 16 remaining named skills from issue #237 plus 11 high-reference unevaluated skills from the issue priority pool. Raises schema-valid eval coverage from 44/132 (33.3%) to 71/132 (53.8%), clearing the 50% CI-fail threshold.

API Design And Evolution
Design APIs that consumers can integrate with, operate, and migrate without relying on unwritten assumptions.
Why Install This Skill
An API is a long-lived agreement: mobile apps, partners, generated SDKs, jobs, and event consumers can all depend on details that are easy to overlook. This skill helps your agent begin with the consumer's job and the domain's meaning before naming a route or selecting a protocol.
It produces practical design artifacts for HTTP, GraphQL, RPC, events, webhooks, and streams. Your agent can document retries, errors, authorization boundaries, delivery semantics, compatibility risks, and a migration path instead of treating an OpenAPI file as the whole design.

Quick Start
Ask your agent: Design an API contract for creating and listing invoices, including retry and migration behavior.
It should begin an API design brief, select an interface style from the workload, and produce a contract reviewable by consumers and implementers.
Triggers
- Design or review a REST/HTTP, GraphQL, RPC, event, webhook, or streaming API
- Write or improve OpenAPI or AsyncAPI contracts
- Define pagination, errors, idempotency, concurrency, or rate/resource behavior
- Assess a consumer-breaking API change, version an interface, or plan deprecation
- Build a migration and rollback plan for an external interface
Requirements
No runtime dependencies or API keys. The skill links to public standards; validate tooling support before relying on a specific OpenAPI or AsyncAPI feature for code generation or documentation.
