validating-api-contracts
This skill validates API contracts using consumer-driven testing and OpenAPI validation. It leverages Pact for consumer-driven contract testing, ensuring that API providers adhere to the expectations of their consumers. It also validates APIs against OpenAPI specifications to guarantee compliance and identify breaking changes. Use this skill when the user asks to generate contract tests, validate API responses, check backward compatibility, or validate requests/responses using the terms "contract-test", "ct", "Pact", "OpenAPI validation", or "consumer-driven contract testing".

About this skill
Overview
This skill enables Claude to generate and validate API contracts, ensuring compatibility between API providers and consumers. It uses Pact for consumer-driven contract testing and OpenAPI validation for specification compliance.
How It Works
- Generating Contract Tests: Claude creates Pact consumer tests based on API usage, generating provider verification tests and building OpenAPI contract validators.
- Validating Contracts: The skill verifies if API responses match the defined contracts.
- Checking Compatibility: It checks for backward compatibility to identify breaking changes in the API.
When to Use This Skill
This skill activates when you need to:
- Generate contract tests for an API.
- Validate API responses against existing contracts.
- Identify breaking changes in an API.
Examples
Example 1: Generating Pact Contracts
User request: "Generate contract tests for my API using Pact."
The skill will:
- Analyze the API and generate Pact consumer contracts.
- Create provider verification tests based on the contracts.
Example 2: Validating an OpenAPI Specification
User request: "Validate my API against the OpenAPI specification."
The skill will:
- Validate the API against the provided OpenAPI specification.
- Report any discrepancies or violations of the specification.
Best Practices
- Clarity: Be specific when requesting contract generation or validation, providing relevant API details.
- Completeness: Ensure that your OpenAPI specifications are up-to-date for accurate validation.
- Context: Provide context about the consumer and provider roles when using Pact.
Integration
This skill can be integrated with other testing and deployment tools in the Claude Code ecosystem to automate contract verification as part of a CI/CD pipeline.

This skill should be used when working on Godot Engine projects. It provides specialized knowledge of Godot's file formats (.gd, .tscn, .tres), architecture patterns (component-based, signal-driven, resource-based), common pitfalls, validation tools, code templates, and CLI workflows. The `godot` command is available for running the game, validating scripts, importing resources, and exporting builds. Use this skill for tasks involving Godot game development, debugging scene/resource files, implementing game systems, or creating new Godot components.
nano-banana-pro
garg-aayush
Generate and edit images using Google's Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) API. Use when the user asks to generate, create, edit, modify, change, alter, or update images. Also use when user references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g., "modify this image", "change the background", "replace X with Y"). Supports both text-to-image generation and image-to-image editing with configurable resolution (1K default, 2K, or 4K for high resolution). DO NOT read the image file first - use this skill directly with the --input-image parameter.
pdf-to-markdown
aliceisjustplaying
Convert entire PDF documents to clean, structured Markdown for full context loading. Use this skill when the user wants to extract ALL text from a PDF into context (not grep/search), when discussing or analyzing PDF content in full, when the user mentions "load the whole PDF", "bring the PDF into context", "read the entire PDF", or when partial extraction/grepping would miss important context. This is the preferred method for PDF text extraction over page-by-page or grep approaches.
