About This Skill
What it does
This skill automates the generation of API documentation from code, saving time and reducing errors. It parses endpoints, parameters, request/response formats, and other relevant details directly from the source code to create clear, structured documentation.
When to use it
- You need to update API docs frequently as your backend evolves.
- You want to ensure consistency between your code and documentation without manual effort.
- Your team is onboarding new developers who require up-to-date API references.
- You're building a public-facing API that requires well-documented endpoints for third-party use.
Key capabilities
- Parses source code to extract endpoint details automatically
- Supports multiple programming languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript)
- Generates markdown or HTML documentation formats
- Includes examples of requests and responses
Example prompts
- "Generate API documentation for my Flask backend."
- "Create a markdown file with all the endpoints from this Node.js project."
- "Update the API docs based on the latest changes in the codebase."
Tips & gotchas
- Ensure your code is well-commented to get accurate and meaningful documentation.
- Some frameworks or custom routing may require additional configuration for proper parsing.
