You can auto-generate backend documentation by detecting backend services and databases to produce api_spec.md and database_schema.md files. This process uses OpenAPI 3.0 and Mermaid ER diagrams to ensure consistent, verifiable docs directly from project context.

Creating OpenAPI 3.0 compliant documentation is best handled by generating an api_spec.md file from detected REST or GraphQL backend context. This approach ensures your API specs remain consistent and verifiable with your actual backend services.

To generate Mermaid ER diagrams for database schema documentation, you can use a context store to detect your database and output a database_schema.md file. This creates visual, verifiable entity-relationship diagrams directly from your backend context.

Yes, the backend documentation generator works with CI/CD pipelines by integrating with a project-docs-coordinator to receive context data. It triggers document generation automatically when a project detects a backend service or database.

Auto-generating backend docs is an idempotent process that will not overwrite existing API specification files. It only creates documents that do not already exist and updates maintenance notes as needed, ensuring your manual changes remain safe.
