Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

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.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned cloudai-x/claude-workflow-v2 at 4c242af16f.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to generate complete API specifications, including OpenAPI schemas and endpoint definitions. It automates the creation of structured documentation for RESTful services based on high-level requirements or functional descriptions.

When to use it

  • You need to rapidly prototype an API before writing backend code.
  • Your team requires consistent, machine-readable documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger) for frontend developers.
  • You are building a microservice architecture and need to define contracts between services early in the development cycle.

Key capabilities

  • Generates OpenAPI 3.x specification documents from natural language prompts.
  • Defines endpoint paths, HTTP methods, request/response schemas, and status codes.
  • Creates detailed API documentation including parameter descriptions and error handling strategies.

Example prompts

  • "Create an OpenAPI spec for a user authentication service with endpoints for login, registration, and password reset."
  • "Design a REST API schema for an e-commerce product catalog that supports filtering by category and price range."
  • "Generate full API documentation including request/response JSON examples for a weather data retrieval endpoint."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your prompts include specific details about data types, authentication methods (e.g., OAuth2, API keys), and error codes to get production-ready specs. While the skill generates comprehensive schemas, always review generated code against security best practices before deployment.
