SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenAPI contracts, changelogs, and client SDKs often drift from code. This skill ensures documentation stays aligned with the implementation, reducing integration friction.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate OpenAPI 3.0 compliant documentation that mirrors code changes.
  • Create changelogs for breaking changes, deprecations, and new features alongside docs.
  • Produce client SDK scaffolds (TypeScript, Python) that align with the API surface and versions.
  • Use case: Ship a new endpoint and automatically refresh docs, changelog, and client stubs to keep all surfaces consistent.

Quick Start

Generate OpenAPI docs, changelog, and client SDK scaffolds that stay in sync with your codebase.
