Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill

What it does
This skill enables AI agents to automatically generate, update, and maintain API documentation based on codebases or schema definitions. It streamlines developer workflows by ensuring technical documentation stays synchronized with actual implementation details without manual intervention.
When to use it
- You need to document a new REST or GraphQL API quickly after development is complete.
- Your team requires up-to-date OpenAPI (Swagger) specifications for frontend integration.
- You want to automate the maintenance of README files when API endpoints change frequently.
- Developers need clear usage examples and parameter descriptions generated directly from code comments.
Key capabilities
- Generates comprehensive API documentation from source code or schema inputs.
- Creates structured content including endpoint lists, request/response formats, and authentication details.
- Supports multiple output formats suitable for developer portals or internal wikis.
- Reduces manual effort in keeping documentation aligned with code changes.
Example prompts
- "Generate OpenAPI 3.0 documentation for my Express.js backend based on the provided route definitions."
- "Create a Markdown README documenting the authentication flow and user endpoints for this API."
- "Extract all GET and POST methods from this Python FastAPI codebase and format them as technical docs."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your code includes clear comments or uses standard schema annotations (like Pydantic models) to maximize generation accuracy. The skill works best when the input code is well-structured and follows consistent naming conventions for endpoints and parameters.
