What this skill does
AppFolio Local Dev Loop Overview Local development workflow for AppFolio property management API integration. Provides a fast feedback loop with mock property, tenant, and lease endpoints so you can build and test integrations without consuming live API quota. Toggle between mock mode for rapid iteration and sandbox mode for pre-deployment validation against the real AppFolio Stack API. Prerequisites A mock-only local environment with synthetic property, tenant, lease, and work-order fixtures that contain no production addresses, names, or payments. A separately managed sandbox credential and an approved safe-read fixture for the dedicated integration lane; it is never loaded by the local dev server. A log policy that records request shape and status only, plus an explicit owner for sandbox quota, fixture reset, and credential rotation. Instructions 1. Run the local server only in mock mode and exercise reads/writes against synthetic routes with deterministic fixtures. 2. Test request validation, idempotency, redaction, and error handling in unit tests before any sandbox connectivity check. 3. Run the sandbox lane separately with the contract-bound managed client and one authorized safe-read fixture; do not turn a local proxy into a live API tunnel. 4. Stop when the fixture, credentials, request budget, or output redaction is unverified, then correct the environment before continuing. …
