Throttling Apis
Overview
This skill provides automated assistance for api throttling manager tasks. This skill provides automated assistance for the described functionality.
Prerequisites
Before using this skill, ensure you have:
- API design specifications or requirements documented
- Development environment with necessary frameworks installed
- Database or backend services accessible for integration
- Authentication and authorization strategies defined
- Testing tools and environments configured
Instructions
- Use Read tool to examine existing API specifications from {baseDir}/api-specs/
- Define resource models, endpoints, and HTTP methods
- Document request/response schemas and data types
- Identify authentication and authorization requirements
- Plan error handling and validation strategies
- Generate boilerplate code using Bash(api:throttle-*) with framework scaffolding
- Implement endpoint handlers with business logic
- Add input validation and schema enforcement
- Integrate authentication and authorization middleware
- Configure database connections and ORM models
- Write integration tests covering all endpoints
See {baseDir}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.

evaluating-machine-learning-models: This skill allows Claude to evaluate machine learning models using a comprehensive suite of metrics. It should be used when the user requests model performance analysis, validation, or testing. Claude can use this skill to assess model accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and other relevant metrics. Trigger this skill when the user mentions "evaluate model", "model performance", "testing metrics", "validation results", or requests a comprehensive "model evaluation".
building-neural-networks: This skill allows Claude to construct and configure neural network architectures using the neural-network-builder plugin. It should be used when the user requests the creation of a new neural network, modification of an existing one, or assistance with defining the layers, parameters, and training process. The skill is triggered by requests involving terms like "build a neural network," "define network architecture," "configure layers," or specific mentions of neural network types (e.g., "CNN," "RNN," "transformer").
