api-development

To generate server controllers and client SDKs from an OpenAPI specification, this skill automates code generation using validated OpenAPI definitions, providing templates and scaffolding to enforce contract-first discipline across the API development lifecycle.

API First prioritizes designing and validating OpenAPI specifications before writing application code, whereas Code First generates OpenAPI definitions from existing code, and this skill provides decision support to choose the right workflow based on project needs.

To validate an OpenAPI specification before scaffolding code, this skill checks and edits OpenAPI definitions like openapi.yml, enforcing contract-first discipline and ensuring the specification aligns with generated server controllers and client SDKs.

Yes, you can use this skill for API workflow decision support when adopting API First, as it offers guidance on choosing between API First and Code First based on your project requirements and aligns OpenAPI specs with generated code.

You should reconsider the API First approach if your project requires rapid prototyping without strict contract enforcement, as this skill enforces contract-first discipline and validates OpenAPI definitions for automated code generation.

The best way to manage OpenAPI definitions and align them with generated code is to use automated tooling that validates openapi.yml, enforces contract-first discipline, and provides templates for server controller and client SDK generation.
