SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the generation of OpenAPI (Swagger) documentation directly from your codebase, simplifying the process of documenting REST APIs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic API Discovery: Analyzes your source code to find and document API endpoints.
  • OpenAPI Spec Generation: Creates swagger.json (OpenAPI 3.0) and interactive HTML documentation.
  • Framework Agnostic: Supports popular web frameworks like Express, NestJS, FastAPI, Django, Rails, and Go.
  • Use Case: You've just finished building a new REST API and need to quickly generate documentation for your team and for integration purposes.

Quick Start

Run the provided script with your OpenAI API key to generate the documentation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I auto-generate OpenAPI documentation from existing source code?

You can auto-generate OpenAPI documentation by analyzing your source code with an LLM to discover REST API endpoints, producing a swagger.json file and interactive HTML. This process requires an OpenAI API key and the apimesh tool to parse your codebase structure.

Does Swagger documentation generation work with FastAPI and Django frameworks?

Swagger documentation generation works with FastAPI and Django, alongside Express, NestJS, Rails, and Go. The analyzer parses your source code to identify endpoints across these frameworks, requiring an OpenAI API key for LLM analysis.

Can I generate interactive HTML API docs from a REST API codebase?

You can generate interactive HTML API docs by analyzing your REST API codebase to extract endpoint definitions. The tool outputs both an OpenAPI 3.0 swagger.json specification and an interactive HTML documentation file for team integration.

What do I need to create Swagger specs from code without manually writing them?

To create Swagger specs from code you need an OpenAI API key for LLM analysis and the apimesh processing tool. The script discovers endpoints by scanning your source code, automatically generating the OpenAPI 3.0 specification without manual documentation.

What are the limitations of automatic API discovery for documentation generation?

Automatic API discovery relies on LLM analysis through an OpenAI API key and the apimesh tool, meaning it requires clear source code structure to identify endpoints accurately. It supports specific frameworks like Express, FastAPI, Django, and Rails for OpenAPI 3.0 generation.
