SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of generating an OpenAPI specification from existing API code bases across popular frameworks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Extract an OpenAPI spec from code for projects using FastAPI, Flask, Django, Spring Boot, NestJS, Hono, Rails, and Laravel.
  • Validate and align the generated spec with your codebase, enabling SDK generation and API documentation workflows.
  • Use case: you manage a monorepo with multiple services and need a single OpenAPI document for your APIs.

Quick Start

Use the extract-openapi-from-code skill to generate an OpenAPI spec from your FastAPI service located at ./service/main.py.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract an OpenAPI spec from existing FastAPI or NestJS code?

To extract an OpenAPI spec from FastAPI or NestJS code, the skill requires a working project with installable dependencies, then uses runtime export or static extraction to automatically generate the specification document from your codebase.

Can I generate swagger documentation from a Django or Flask API codebase?

Yes, you can generate swagger documentation from a Django or Flask API codebase by extracting the OpenAPI specification directly from the code, which enables API documentation workflows and SDK generation without writing the spec manually.

Does the OpenAPI extraction process work with Spring Boot and Rails frameworks?

The OpenAPI extraction process works with Spring Boot and Rails frameworks, covering both runtime export and static extraction across multiple popular frameworks including Hono and Laravel to validate and align the generated spec with your codebase.

What is the best way to get a single OpenAPI document for multiple services in a monorepo?

The best way to get a single OpenAPI document for multiple services in a monorepo is to extract the OpenAPI spec from each service's code, validating and aligning the generated specifications to enable unified SDK generation and API documentation.

Do I need to install dependencies before extracting an OpenAPI specification from code?

Yes, you need installable dependencies in a working project before extracting an OpenAPI specification from code, because the extraction process requires a functional environment to accurately perform runtime export or static extraction and validate the output.

What should I do after extracting an OpenAPI spec to ensure it is ready for SDK generation?

After extracting an OpenAPI spec, you should validate and align the generated specification with your codebase to ensure accuracy, which directly enables downstream SDK generation and API documentation workflows.
