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
Error Handling
See {baseDir}/references/errors.md for comprehensive error handling.
Examples
See {baseDir}/references/examples.md for detailed examples.
