What architecture pattern does this skill use?

It uses a modular Blueprint architecture, separating features into specific modules and utilizing a Singleton Service Manager for shared resources like databases.

Are the data models type-safe?

Yes, the skill generates Python dataclasses with to_dict and from_dict methods to ensure type safety and validation during JSON serialization.

Can I use this for production APIs?

Absolutely. It includes logging, CORS support, environment variable management, and error handling patterns suitable for production environments.

Does this skill include automated API documentation?

Yes, it integrates flask-smorest which automatically generates OpenAPI 3.0 specifications and serves a live Swagger UI for testing your endpoints.

API Development

Generates standardized Flask REST APIs featuring automated OpenAPI documentation, modular blueprint architecture, and type-safe dataclass models.

About

This skill streamlines the development of production-grade Flask REST APIs by implementing the flask-smorest library for automated OpenAPI/Swagger documentation. It establishes a robust, scalable project structure that utilizes modular blueprints for feature organization and Python dataclasses for validated request/response handling. Perfect for developers who need to bootstrap a new backend service with built-in best practices for serialization, error handling, and resource management.
