FAQPage Schema

How do I generate API documentation for Frappe whitelisted methods?▼

API documentation generation extracts whitelisted function signatures, parameters, return values, and errors from your Frappe app, formatting them with usage examples and type information for developers integrating with your endpoints.

Can I create an OpenAPI specification for my Frappe REST APIs?▼

Yes. OpenAPI/Swagger YAML specification generation converts your Frappe REST API endpoints into structured OpenAPI format, enabling compatibility with API testing tools, client code generators, and API documentation platforms.

What's the best way to document DocTypes and workflows for end-users?▼

User guide generation produces Markdown documentation for DocTypes and workflows, explaining field purposes, relationships, and operational procedures in non-technical language tailored for end-user understanding and adoption.

Does this work with custom Frappe applications and ERPNext?▼

Documentation generation applies to custom Frappe apps and ERPNext deployments, extracting and formatting documentation from your application's whitelisted methods, DocTypes, and workflows following Frappe conventions.

What documentation formats does it produce?▼

The Skill outputs Markdown user guides for non-technical documentation, YAML OpenAPI specifications for API integration and testing, and structured docstrings embedded in your codebase for developer reference.

Can I use this if I haven't formally documented my API endpoints yet?▼

Yes. Documentation generation inspects your existing whitelisted functions and DocType definitions directly, extracting structure and metadata to build documentation without requiring pre-written specifications or comments.
