Repair API Version Negotiation Bugs
Repair API-version negotiation bugs where headers, media types, paths, defaults, caches, or proxy rewrites select different contracts across clients and servers.

Repair API Version Negotiation Bugs
Example session with this skill installed
Our gateway honors an Accept media-type version, while the app defaults from an X-API-Version header and falls back differently when both are present. Repair the negotiation without dropping any currently supported version.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the repair api version
Version authority is split across layers. The repair defines one precedence/validation contract, normalizes the selected version before routing, forwards one canonical representation, keys caches on the effective version, and tests conflicting/missing/unsupported inputs across every supported version.
Connects securely to your tools. The creator never sees your data.
About this skill
The problem
API versioning often breaks when header parsing, routing logic, and state management disagree across service boundaries. These inconsistencies lead to leaking internal errors, cache poisoning via incorrect Vary headers, or broken backward compatibility for legacy clients.
What it does
- Identifies mismatches between path, header, and media-type versioning sources.
- Aligns version negotiation across identity, validation, and state ownership layers.
- Corrects cache policy and Vary key headers to prevent version collisions.
- Implements version-aware request routing and schema dispatch logic.
- Generates deterministic local fixtures and regression tests for version boundaries.
Frameworks & tools
Works with any backend stack using Read, Edit, and Bash tools. Applicable to REST, GraphQL, and gRPC gateways, as well as proxy configurations like Nginx or Envoy.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Manual prompts often miss the edge cases of versioned state ownership and cleanup. This skill enforces a canonical contract for identity and validation before irreversible mutations occur, ensuring deprecation policies are actually respected in code, not just docs.
Use cases
- Fixing inconsistent version detection between a proxy and an application server.
- Correcting state leakage where a v2 request mutates state owned by a v1 handler.
- Resolving cache poisoning caused by missing version metadata in cache keys.
- Standardizing 406 Not Acceptable or 415 Unsupported Media Type responses.
