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 automatically generates OpenAPI specifications directly from existing codebases. It analyzes your implementation to map out endpoints, request/response schemas, and authentication flows without manual documentation.
When to use it
- You need to document a legacy API where original specs are missing or outdated.
- You want to ensure your AI agents understand the exact structure of your backend services.
- You are refactoring code and need to verify that new implementations match expected API contracts.
- You require machine-readable documentation for rapid client SDK generation.
Key capabilities
- Parses source code to identify HTTP methods, paths, and parameters.
- Infers data models and validation rules from typed variables and function signatures.
- Outputs standard OpenAPI 3.x format compatible with major tools like Swagger UI.
- Handles complex scenarios including authentication headers and file uploads.
Example prompts
"Extract an OpenAPI spec from my Python FastAPI application located in the src directory."
"Generate an OpenAPI document from this Node.js Express server code to help my AI agent interact with it."
"Analyze my Go HTTP handlers and create a corresponding OpenAPI specification file."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your codebase includes type hints or explicit struct definitions, as the extraction relies on these for accurate schema generation. Review the output carefully, as inferred logic may occasionally miss edge cases present only in runtime behavior.
