Platform and API teams who guard a public or internal contract.
Quick answer
The API design review template is a ready-made workspace for Platform and API teams who guard a public or internal contract.
API design review template in short
Included when you apply it
Applying this template creates the 1 board below — with every list — and pre-loads 3 sample issues, all yours to edit. The automation rules further down are suggestions you can wire up next; they aren't created for you yet.
A preview of how this template lays out — the boards, their custom workflow states, and where the sample issues land. WIP caps show a badge.
API RFCs
RFC: cursor-based pagination for list endpoints
Sub-issues: contract, deprecation plan, migration guide.
RFC: deprecate the v1 webhooks payload shape
Add idempotency keys to write endpoints
These rules aren't created when you apply the template — they're recipes you can wire up in Settings → Automations once your board exists.
When

Then
Require a deprecation plan before it can reach 'Approved'
