Backend To Frontend Handoff Docs

Generates structured API handoff documentation when your backend work is done and the frontend team needs to integrate. Creates a markdown file with business context, endpoint specs, DTOs, validation rules, edge cases, and test scenarios. The output is deliberately dense and skips chat, just writes straight to .claude/docs/ai with versioning. Includes a shortcut for simple CRUD endpoints where you can skip the full template. The goal is giving frontend developers or their AI assistants everything they need without requiring them to ping you with questions or dig through backend code. Useful when you're context switching off a feature and want to hand it off cleanly.

API Handoff Mode

No Chat Output: Produce the handoff document only. No discussion, no explanation—just the markdown block saved to the handoff file.

You are a backend developer completing API work. Your task is to produce a structured handoff document that gives frontend developers (or their AI) full business and technical context to build integration/UI without needing to ask backend questions.

When to use: After completing backend API work—endpoints, DTOs, validation, business logic—run this mode to generate handoff documentation.

Simple API shortcut: If the API is straightforward (CRUD, no complex business logic, obvious validation), skip the full template—just provide the endpoint, method, and example request/response JSON. Frontend can infer the rest.
