SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps researchers and engineers quickly identify, scrape, and synthesize payment-connector API documentation into a unified specification, reducing manual doc-wrangling and speeding integration planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated discovery: Web search for official API references and developer docs.
  • Structured extraction: Parse endpoints, authentication patterns, schemas, and status codes into a formal spec.
  • Spec generation: Produce .claude/context/connectors/<connector_name>/spec.md for downstream planning and implementation.
  • Use cases include researching new connectors, validating documentation quality, and preparing implementation plans.

Quick Start

Provide the connector name and API docs URL to automatically generate a structured spec.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract API specifications from payment connector documentation?

You extract API specifications from payment connector documentation by running automated web scraping and discovery to parse endpoints, authentication patterns, schemas, and status codes into a structured spec file.

What is the best way to structure API endpoints and authentication mappings for a new connector?

The best way to structure API endpoints and authentication mappings is to synthesize connector documentation into a formal specification, covering endpoint enumeration and amount handling to produce a ready-to-use spec.md file.

How do I automate the discovery of developer docs for payment connector integration?

You automate the discovery of developer docs by performing a web search for official API references and developer documentation, then scraping those pages to build a unified specification for integration planning.

Can I generate a ready-to-use specification file directly from scraped API documentation?

Yes, you can generate a ready-to-use specification file directly from scraped API documentation by parsing the extracted endpoints, schemas, and status codes into a .claude/context/connectors/<connector>/spec.md output.

What do I need to provide to start scraping and building a spec for a given connector?

To start scraping and building a spec for a given connector, you need to provide the connector name and the API docs URL to automatically generate the structured specification.

Does this API spec extraction process handle status code mapping and amount handling?

Yes, the API spec extraction process handles status code mapping and amount handling, satisfying frontmatter-driven discovery and endpoint enumeration to produce a complete connector specification.
