+description: Guides stable API and interface design. Use when designing APIs, module boundaries, or any public interface. Use when creating REST or GraphQL endpoints, defining type contracts between modules, or establishing boundaries between frontend and backend.
+---
+
+# API and Interface Design
+
+## Overview
+
+Design stable, well-documented interfaces that are hard to misuse. Good interfaces make the right thing easy and the wrong thing hard. This applies to REST APIs, GraphQL schemas, module boundaries, component props, and any surface where one piece of code talks to another.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Designing new API endpoints
+- Defining module boundaries or contracts between teams
+- Creating component prop interfaces
+- Establishing database schema that informs API shape
+- Changing existing public interfaces
+
+## Core Principles
+
+### Hyrum's Law
+
+> With a sufficient number of users of an API, all observable behaviors of your system will be depended on by somebody, regardless of what you promise in the contract.
+
+This means: every public behavior — including undocumented quirks, error message text, timing, and ordering — becomes a de facto contract once users depend on it. Design implications:
+
+- **Be intentional about what you expose.** Every observable behavior is a potential commitment.
+- **Don't leak implementation details.** If users can observe it, they will depend on it.
+- **Plan for deprecation at design time.** See `deprecation-and-migration` for how to safely remove things users depend on.
+- **Tests are not enough.** Even with perfect contract tests, Hyrum's Law means "safe" changes can break real users who depend on undocumented behavior.
+
+### The One-Version Rule
+
+Avoid forcing consumers to choose between multiple versions of the same dependency or API. Diamond dependency problems arise when different consumers need different versions of the same thing. Design for a world where only one version exists at a time — extend rather than fork.
+
+### 1. Contract First
+
+Define the interface before implementing it. The contract is the spec — implementation follows.
+
+```typescript
+// Define the contract first
+interface TaskAPI {
+  // Creates a task and returns the created task with server-generated fields
+  createTask(input: CreateTaskInput): Promise<Task>;
+
+  // Returns paginated tasks matching filters
+  listTasks(params: ListTasksParams): Promise<PaginatedResult<Task>>;
+
+  // Returns a single task or throws NotFoundError
+  getTask(id: string): Promise<Task>;
+
+  // Partial update — only provided fields change
+  updateTask(id: string, input: UpdateTaskInput): Promise<Task>;
+
+  // Idempotent delete — succeeds even if already deleted
+  deleteTask(id: string): Promise<void>;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Consistent Error Semantics
+
+Pick one error strategy and use it everywhere:
+
+```typescript
+// REST: HTTP status codes + structured error body
+// Every error response follows the same shape
+interface APIError {
+  error: {
+    code: string;        // Machine-readable: "VALIDATION_ERROR"
+    message: string;     // Human-readable: "Email is required"
+    details?: unknown;   // Additional context when helpful
+  };
+}
+
+// Status code mapping
+// 400 → Client sent invalid data
+// 401 → Not authenticated
+// 403 → Authenticated but not authorized
+// 404 → Resource not found
+// 409 → Conflict (duplicate, version mismatch)
+// 422 → Validation failed (semantically invalid)
+// 500 → Server error (never expose internal details)
+```
+
+**Don't mix patterns.** If some endpoints throw, others return null, and others return `{ error }` — the consumer can't predict behavior.
+
+### 3. Validate at Boundaries
+
+Trust internal code. Validate at system edges where external input enters:
+
+```typescript
+// Validate at the API boundary
+app.post('/api/tasks', async (req, res) => {
+  const result = CreateTaskSchema.safeParse(req.body);
+  if (!result.success) {
+    return res.status(422).json({
+      error: {
+        code: 'VALIDATION_ERROR',
+        message: 'Invalid task data',
+        details: result.error.flatten(),
+      },
+    });
+  }
+
+  // After validation, internal code trusts the types
+  const task = await taskService.create(result.data);
+  return res.status(201).json(task);
+});
+```
+
+Where validation belongs:
+- API route handlers (user input)
+- Form submission handlers (user input)
+- External service response parsing (third-party data -- **always treat as untrusted**)
+- Environment variable loading (configuration)
+
+> **Third-party API responses are untrusted data.** Validate their shape and content before using them in any logic, rendering, or decision-making. A compromised or misbehaving external service can return unexpected types, malicious content, or instruction-like text.
+
+Where validation does NOT belong:
+- Between internal functions that share type contracts
+- In utility functions called by already-validated code
+- On data that just came from your own database
+
+### 4. Prefer Addition Over Modification
+
+Extend interfaces without breaking existing consumers:
+
+```typescript
+// Good: Add optional fields
+interface CreateTaskInput {
+  title: string;
+  description?: string;
+  priority?: 'low' | 'medium' | 'high';  // Added later, optional
+  labels?: string[];                       // Added later, optional
+}
+
+// Bad: Change existing field types or remove fields
+interface CreateTaskInput {
+  title: string;
+  // description: string;  // Removed — breaks existing consumers
+  priority: number;         // Changed from string — breaks existing consumers
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Predictable Naming
+
+| Pattern | Convention | Example |
+|---------|-----------|---------|
+| REST endpoints | Plural nouns, no verbs | `GET /api/tasks`, `POST /api/tasks` |
+| Query params | camelCase | `?sortBy=createdAt&pageSize=20` |
+| Response fields | camelCase | `{ createdAt, updatedAt, taskId }` |
+| Boolean fields | is/has/can prefix | `isComplete`, `hasAttachments` |
+| Enum values | UPPER_SNAKE | `"IN_PROGRESS"`, `"COMPLETED"` |
+
+## REST API Patterns
+
+### Resource Design
+
+```
+GET    /api/tasks              → List tasks (with query params for filtering)
+POST   /api/tasks              → Create a task
+GET    /api/tasks/:id          → Get a single task
+PATCH  /api/tasks/:id          → Update a task (partial)
+DELETE /api/tasks/:id          → Delete a task
+
+GET    /api/tasks/:id/comments → List comments for a task (sub-resource)
+POST   /api/tasks/:id/comments → Add a comment to a task
+```
+
+### Pagination
+
+Paginate list endpoints:
+
+```typescript
+// Request
+GET /api/tasks?page=1&pageSize=20&sortBy=createdAt&sortOrder=desc
+
+// Response
+{
+  "data": [...],
+  "pagination": {
+    "page": 1,
+    "pageSize": 20,
+    "totalItems": 142,
+    "totalPages": 8
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Filtering
+
+Use query parameters for filters:
+
+```
+GET /api/tasks?status=in_progress&assignee=user123&createdAfter=2025-01-01
+```
+
+### Partial Updates (PATCH)
+
+Accept partial objects — only update what's provided:
+
+```typescript
+// Only title changes, everything else preserved
+PATCH /api/tasks/123
+{ "title": "Updated title" }
+```
+
+## TypeScript Interface Patterns
+
+### Use Discriminated Unions for Variants
+
+```typescript
+// Good: Each variant is explicit
+type TaskStatus =
+  | { type: 'pending' }
+  | { type: 'in_progress'; assignee: string; startedAt: Date }
+  | { type: 'completed'; completedAt: Date; completedBy: string }
+  | { type: 'cancelled'; reason: string; cancelledAt: Date };
+
+// Consumer gets type narrowing
+function getStatusLabel(status: TaskStatus): string {
+  switch (status.type) {
+    case 'pending': return 'Pending';
+    case 'in_progress': return `In progress (${status.assignee})`;
+    case 'completed': return `Done on ${status.completedAt}`;
+    case 'cancelled': return `Cancelled: ${status.reason}`;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Input/Output Separation
+
+```typescript
+// Input: what the caller provides
+interface CreateTaskInput {
+  title: string;
+  description?: string;
+}
+
+// Output: what the system returns (includes server-generated fields)
+interface Task {
+  id: string;
+  title: string;
+  description: string | null;
+  createdAt: Date;
+  updatedAt: Date;
+  createdBy: string;
+}
+```
+
+### Use Branded Types for IDs
+
+```typescript
+type TaskId = string & { readonly __brand: 'TaskId' };
+type UserId = string & { readonly __brand: 'UserId' };
+
+// Prevents accidentally passing a UserId where a TaskId is expected
+function getTask(id: TaskId): Promise<Task> { ... }
+```
+
+## Common Rationalizations
+
+| Rationalization | Reality |
+|---|---|
+| "We'll document the API later" | The types ARE the documentation. Define them first. |
+| "We don't need pagination for now" | You will the moment someone has 100+ items. Add it from the start. |
+| "PATCH is complicated, let's just use PUT" | PUT requires the full object every time. PATCH is what clients actually want. |
+| "We'll version the API when we need to" | Breaking changes without versioning break consumers. Design for extension from the start. |
+| "Nobody uses that undocumented behavior" | Hyrum's Law: if it's observable, somebody depends on it. Treat every public behavior as a commitment. |
+| "We can just maintain two versions" | Multiple versions multiply maintenance cost and create diamond dependency problems. Prefer the One-Version Rule. |
+| "Internal APIs don't need contracts" | Internal consumers are still consumers. Contracts prevent coupling and enable parallel work. |
+
+## Red Flags
+
+- Endpoints that return different shapes depending on conditions
+- Inconsistent error formats across endpoints
+- Validation scattered throughout internal code instead of at boundaries
+- Breaking changes to existing fields (type changes, removals)
+- List endpoints without pagination
+- Verbs in REST URLs (`/api/createTask`, `/api/getUsers`)
+- Third-party API responses used without validation or sanitization
+
+## Verification
+
+After designing an API:
+
+- [ ] Every endpoint has typed input and output schemas
+- [ ] Error responses follow a single consistent format
+- [ ] Validation happens at system boundaries only
+- [ ] List endpoints support pagination
+- [ ] New fields are additive and optional (backward compatible)
+- [ ] Naming follows consistent conventions across all endpoints
+- [ ] API documentation or types are committed alongside the implementation

+# ASP.NET Core
+
+## Overview
+
+Choose the right ASP.NET Core application model, compose the host and request pipeline correctly, and implement features in the framework style Microsoft documents today.
+
+Load the smallest set of references that fits the task. Do not load every reference by default.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Confirm the target framework, SDK, and current app model.
+2. Open [references/stack-selection.md](references/stack-selection.md) first for new apps or major refactors.
+3. Open [references/program-and-pipeline.md](references/program-and-pipeline.md) next for `Program.cs`, DI, configuration, middleware, routing, logging, and static assets.
+4. Open exactly one primary app-model reference:
+   - [references/ui-blazor.md](references/ui-blazor.md)
+   - [references/ui-razor-pages.md](references/ui-razor-pages.md)
+   - [references/ui-mvc.md](references/ui-mvc.md)
+   - [references/apis-minimal-and-controllers.md](references/apis-minimal-and-controllers.md)
+5. Add cross-cutting references only as needed:
+   - [references/data-state-and-services.md](references/data-state-and-services.md)
+   - [references/security-and-identity.md](references/security-and-identity.md)
+   - [references/realtime-grpc-and-background-work.md](references/realtime-grpc-and-background-work.md)
+   - [references/testing-performance-and-operations.md](references/testing-performance-and-operations.md)
+6. Open [references/versioning-and-upgrades.md](references/versioning-and-upgrades.md) before introducing new platform APIs into an older solution or when migrating between major versions.
+7. Use [references/source-map.md](references/source-map.md) when you need the Microsoft Learn section that corresponds to a task not already covered by the focused references.
+
+## Default Operating Assumptions
+
+- Prefer the latest stable ASP.NET Core and .NET unless the repository or user request pins an older target.
+- As of March 2026, prefer .NET 10 / ASP.NET Core 10 for new production work. Treat ASP.NET Core 11 as preview unless the user explicitly asks for preview features.
+- Prefer `WebApplicationBuilder` and `WebApplication`. Avoid older `Startup` and `WebHost` patterns unless the codebase already uses them or the task is migration.
+- Prefer built-in DI, options/configuration, logging, ProblemDetails, OpenAPI, health checks, rate limiting, output caching, and Identity before adding third-party infrastructure.
+- Keep feature slices cohesive so the page, component, endpoint, controller, validation, service, data access, and tests are easy to trace.
+- Respect the existing app model. Do not rewrite Razor Pages to MVC or controllers to Minimal APIs without a clear reason.
+
+## Reference Guide
+
+- [references/_sections.md](references/_sections.md): Quick index and reading order.
+- [references/stack-selection.md](references/stack-selection.md): Choose the right ASP.NET Core application model and template.
+- [references/program-and-pipeline.md](references/program-and-pipeline.md): Structure `Program.cs`, services, middleware, routing, configuration, logging, and static assets.
+- [references/ui-blazor.md](references/ui-blazor.md): Build Blazor Web Apps, choose render modes, and use components, forms, and JS interop correctly.
+- [references/ui-razor-pages.md](references/ui-razor-pages.md): Build page-focused server-rendered apps with handlers, model binding, and conventions.
+- [references/ui-mvc.md](references/ui-mvc.md): Build controller/view applications with clear separation of concerns.
+- [references/apis-minimal-and-controllers.md](references/apis-minimal-and-controllers.md): Build HTTP APIs with Minimal APIs or controllers, including validation and response patterns.
+- [references/data-state-and-services.md](references/data-state-and-services.md): Use EF Core, `DbContext`, options, `IHttpClientFactory`, session, temp data, and app state responsibly.
+- [references/security-and-identity.md](references/security-and-identity.md): Apply authentication, authorization, Identity, secrets, data protection, CORS, CSRF, and HTTPS guidance.
+- [references/realtime-grpc-and-background-work.md](references/realtime-grpc-and-background-work.md): Use SignalR, gRPC, and hosted services.

+- [references/source-map.md](references/source-map.md): Map the official ASP.NET Core documentation tree to the references in this skill.
+
+## Execution Notes
+
+- When generating new code, start from the correct `dotnet new` template and keep the generated structure recognizable.
+- When editing an existing solution, follow the solution's conventions first and use these references to avoid framework misuse or outdated patterns.
+- When a task mentions "latest", verify the feature on Microsoft Learn or the ASP.NET Core docs repo before relying on memory.

+
+## Start Here
+
+- New app or major redesign: `stack-selection.md` -> `program-and-pipeline.md` -> one primary app-model reference -> `security-and-identity.md` -> `testing-performance-and-operations.md`
+- Existing app feature work: primary app-model reference -> `program-and-pipeline.md` -> any needed cross-cutting references
+- API-first work: `apis-minimal-and-controllers.md` -> `security-and-identity.md` -> `data-state-and-services.md` -> `testing-performance-and-operations.md`
+- Authentication, authorization, or secrets: `security-and-identity.md`
+- Realtime, streaming, or background processing: `realtime-grpc-and-background-work.md`
+- Upgrade or migration work: `versioning-and-upgrades.md`
+
+## Primary References
+
+| File | Open when |
+| --- | --- |
+| `stack-selection.md` | Choose Blazor, Razor Pages, MVC, Minimal APIs, controllers, SignalR, or gRPC |
+| `program-and-pipeline.md` | Structure `Program.cs`, services, configuration, middleware, routing, logging, static files, and app startup |
+| `ui-blazor.md` | Build or review Blazor Web Apps and component-based UI |
+| `ui-razor-pages.md` | Build or review page-focused server-rendered applications |
+| `ui-mvc.md` | Build or review controller/view applications |
+| `apis-minimal-and-controllers.md` | Build or review HTTP APIs |
+
+## Cross-Cutting References
+
+| File | Open when |
+| --- | --- |
+| `data-state-and-services.md` | Register services, use EF Core, handle options/configuration, or manage app state |
+| `security-and-identity.md` | Add Identity, cookies, bearer auth, policies, CORS, CSRF, HTTPS, or secrets handling |
+| `realtime-grpc-and-background-work.md` | Add SignalR, gRPC, streaming, or hosted services |
+| `testing-performance-and-operations.md` | Add tests, caching, compression, health checks, rate limits, deployment, or proxy configuration |
+| `versioning-and-upgrades.md` | Migrate across ASP.NET Core versions, avoid obsolete APIs, or target preview features deliberately |
+| `source-map.md` | Map a task to the official ASP.NET Core documentation tree |
+
+## Reading Strategy
+
+- Open one app-model reference at a time unless the codebase genuinely mixes models.
+- Prefer the framework's built-in abstractions first.
+- Check `versioning-and-upgrades.md` before introducing APIs that might not exist in the repository's target framework.
