Backend To Frontend Handoff Docs

Generates structured API handoff docs that give frontend developers everything they need to build integration without asking backend questions. Kicks in after you've finished endpoint work and say "create handoff" or "document API". The output is a dense markdown file covering business context, request/response examples, validation rules, edge cases, and test scenarios. Includes a shortcut mode for simple CRUD APIs where full docs would be overkill. The hook here is the "no chat output" directive: it writes straight to `.claude/docs/ai/<feature-name>/api-handoff.md` with zero fluff, just the reference doc. Solid for teams where backend and frontend work happens asynchronously or where you're handing off to another AI agent.

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.
