Design a new API endpoint by auditing existing patterns first.

Step 1: Understand the Requirement

What resource/action? (CRUD on a model, custom action, aggregation)
Who can access it? (roles: admin, manager, recruiter, freelance)
What data goes in / comes out?

Step 2: Audit Existing Patterns

Find similar endpoints: `grep
