Google API Improvement Proposals (AIP)

When working on API design, protobuf definitions, or any task involving Google API standards, refresh your understanding of the relevant AIP rules.

Critical Rule

NEVER assume you know what an AIP rule says from memory. Always fetch and read the actual AIP documentation before applying or referencing any rule. Your memory of AIP rules may be inaccurate or outdated.

Process

Browse the AIP index - Go to https://google.aip.dev/general to see all available AIP guidelines
Identify relevant AIPs - Based on the task at hand, determine which AIP rules may apply
Fetch and read the relevant AIPs - Use WebFetch to retrieve the specific AIP pages. Do NOT skip this step, even if you think you know what the rule says
Apply the standards - Ensure your work follows the AIP guidelines as documented
