{api-integration-surface-strategy}
Decide which integration surfaces a platform offers external developers and AI agents - REST, GraphQL, gRPC, SQL access, bulk data sharing, webhooks, SDKs, CLI, MCP, embedded components - and in what build order, sequenced by reversal cost and audience rather than novelty. Use whenever the user mentions which API to build first, adding a GraphQL or MCP layer, an integration-surface roadmap, API-first vs embedded-first, or a missing surface blocking deals - even if they never say "integration surface". Umbrella strategy only - once a surface is chosen, per-surface design belongs to siblings such as samber/developer-platform-skills@webhook-platform-design and samber/developer-platform-skills@sdk-portfolio-strategy.

Skill graphHow this page is produced
The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.
Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.
Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.
An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
