What this skill does for you

Design the test/sandbox mode of a public API platform so external integrators build and validate without touching real money, messages, or data - isolation architecture (soft test-mode toggle vs hard separate-copy sandbox), test-key prefixing, magic test values, simulated objects and personas, on-demand test events, deterministic time manipulation, reset and seeding, sandbox quotas, abuse controls, and graduation to live. Use whenever the user mentions a sandbox, test mode, test API keys, magic or dummy test values, simulated webhook events, or demo data - even if they never say "test mode". Not code-execution sandboxing or unit-test mocking. Do NOT use for partner sandbox provisioning - use samber/developer-platform-skills@partner-app-onboarding instead.
