What is the main benefit of the API Contract Validator skill?

The main benefit is ensuring that API providers and consumers remain in sync, preventing integration failures through automated contract validation and schema checking.

Does this skill support Pact testing?

Yes, it specifically supports Pact for consumer-driven contract testing to verify expectations between services and generate provider verification tests.

Can it detect breaking changes in my API?

Yes, the skill identifies breaking changes by checking for backward compatibility and validating API responses against defined OpenAPI specifications.

How do I trigger contract validation in Claude Code?

You can activate the skill by asking Claude to validate an API or generate tests using terms like 'contract-test', 'Pact', or 'OpenAPI validation'.
