Fed it a small orders API and compared: baseline produced a casual Slack-style paragraph, the skill output was a full template with a TypeScript DTO, an enum table, 5 numbered test scenarios, and two genuinely useful open questions (status-update mechanism, discount exposure) the baseline never surfaced.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 4/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Backend To Frontend Handoff Docs does

Generates a structured markdown handoff document (business context, endpoints, TypeScript DTOs, enums, validation rules, edge cases, test scenarios, open questions) after backend API work is complete, saved to .claude/docs/ai/<feature>/api-handoff.md. Triggers on phrases like 'create handoff', 'document API', or 'frontend handoff' once endpoints, DTOs and validation are already implemented.
