httpie

Solid

Use this skill whenever the user wants to make HTTP requests, test APIs, call REST endpoints, debug web services, or interact with any HTTP/HTTPS API using the HTTPie CLI tool (`http` command). Trigger this skill for any request involving: sending GET/POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE requests, testing API endpoints, sending JSON or form data, working with authentication (Bearer token, Basic auth), uploading files, downloading responses, managing sessions, inspecting request/response headers, or piping HTTP calls in shell scripts. Use this skill even when the user just says "call the API", "send a request", "hit this endpoint", or "test with httpie" ¿ don't wait for explicit httpie mention.
