Windsurf Api Development
Overview
This skill enables AI-assisted API development workflows within Windsurf. Cascade can generate type-safe API clients from OpenAPI/Swagger specs, create comprehensive API documentation, design REST and GraphQL schemas, and produce SDKs for multiple languages. It accelerates API development from design through implementation to documentation.
Prerequisites
- Windsurf IDE with Cascade enabled
- OpenAPI/Swagger specification or API endpoints
- Target language runtime (Node.js, Python, etc.)
- Understanding of API design patterns
- Documentation requirements defined
Instructions
- Define API Specification
- Generate Clients
- Implement Endpoints
- Create Documentation
- Test and Validate
See {baseDir}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.
Output
- Generated API clients (TypeScript, Python, etc.)
- Type definitions and schemas
- API reference documentation
- Quick start guides and examples

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".

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").
