Comprehensive guide for working with the Rhombus API and building applications on the Rhombus platform. Use when the user asks questions about the Rhombus API, requests cURL examples, needs endpoint documentation, wants to build apps integrating Rhombus cameras/access control/sensors, asks "How do I [X] using the Rhombus API", or asks about streaming video, LPR, face recognition, webhooks, door controllers, IoT sensors, alarm monitoring, relay/NVR management, third-party RTSP cameras, or any Rhombus development task. Also trigger when the user mentions Rhombus platform capabilities, wants to generate SDK clients, or references the Rhombus OpenAPI spec. Covers all 65+ API service categories across 892+ endpoints including camera management, access control, IoT sensors, face recognition, vehicle/LPR, alarm monitoring, lockdown plans, occupancy, elevators, relay/NVR, webhooks, user management, and more.

From the source SKILL.md

This skill provides comprehensive support for working with the Rhombus API and building applications on the Rhombus platform. Rhombus was built on API-driven micro-services from day one — every feature in the web console, mobile apps, and firmware is backed by the same API endpoints available to developers.

What this skill does

Rhombus API is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the backend sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/rhombus-api/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user asks questions about the Rhombus API, requests cURL examples, needs endpoint documentation, wants to build apps integrating Rhombus cameras/access control/sensors, asks "How do I [X] using the Rhombus API", or asks about streaming video, LPR, face recognition, webhooks, door controllers, IoT sensors, alarm monitoring, relay/NVR management, third-party RTSP cameras, or any Rhombus development task. Also trigger when the user mentions Rhombus platform capabilities, wants to generate SDK clients, or references the Rhombus OpenAPI spec.
