# Build Reliable AI API Products

Generic AI wrappers often lack clear value, reliable outputs, and cost controls. This skill guides focused product design, implementation patterns, and operational safeguards.

## Capabilities

- Designs an application flow from validated user input through an AI API to a validated response.
- Creates reusable prompt templates with roles, formats, tones, and structured output requirements.
- Compares model choices by cost, speed, quality, and workload needs.
- Plans token tracking, usage limits, anomaly alerts, and emergency spending controls.
- Adds retry, queueing, streaming, caching, and user-facing error patterns.
- Evaluates product differentiation through workflow integration, domain context, output quality, and distribution.

## Use Cases

- Define a Focused AI Product: Turn a specific customer problem into an AI-assisted workflow with clear value, model needs, and quality controls.
- Plan a Production Integration: Structure prompts, provider calls, parsing, retries, streaming, caching, and usage metering for an existing application.
- Control AI Operating Costs: Establish token budgets, plan limits, anomaly monitoring, and provider safeguards before launching an AI feature.

## Prompt Templates

### Define the Product

```
Define an AI product for [target user] that solves [problem]. Recommend the core workflow, model needs, validation rules, and success metrics.
```

### Design the Prompt Flow

```
Design the prompt architecture for [feature]. Include input validation, system instructions, user context, output format, parsing, and failure handling.
```

### Plan Cost and Reliability

```
Review this usage forecast: [forecast]. Propose model routing, token limits, rate-limit handling, caching, monitoring, and an emergency spending cutoff.
```

### Audit the Product Architecture

```
Audit this AI product specification: [specification]. Identify thin-wrapper risks, quality gaps, cost exposure, latency issues, and defensible product improvements.
```

## Limitations

- Provides reference patterns, not a complete deployable application.
- Model names, prices, and latency estimates may become outdated.
- Requires environment-specific testing for provider APIs, databases, queues, and caches.
- Does not replace legal, medical, security, or financial expert review.

## Best Practices

- Validate user input and AI output before using or displaying generated content.
- Track tokens, costs, failures, and latency for every provider request.
- Use the least expensive model that consistently meets measured quality requirements.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not expose provider API keys in browsers or client applications.
- Do not forward unbounded input directly to a model without limits or validation.
- Do not treat generated facts as reliable without domain-specific checks and user review.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-23T18:50:41.458\+00:00
- Summary: All 56 static findings are false positives caused by Markdown fences, JavaScript template literals, illustrative error handling, ordinary prose, and a relative application API request. The skill is a documentation-only guide with no executable scripts, external command invocation, reconnaissance behavior, prompt injection attempt, or sensitive-data transfer.
