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
The API Documenter skill transforms raw code snippets, OpenAPI specifications, or database schemas into comprehensive, human-readable documentation. It automatically generates structured guides including endpoint descriptions, request/response formats, and usage examples to streamline developer onboarding.
When to use it
- You have a new REST API built with FastAPI, Express, or Django and need immediate technical documentation without writing it manually.
- Your team is integrating a third-party service via JSON-RPC or GraphQL and requires clear parameter definitions and error codes.
- You are maintaining legacy codebases where original comments are missing or outdated, needing to reverse-engineer functionality from the source.
Key capabilities
- Parses various input formats including OpenAPI/Swagger YAML/JSON files and raw Python/JavaScript function definitions.
- Generates structured markdown output containing endpoint summaries, method details (GET, POST, PUT), and data models.
- Extracts and documents authentication requirements, rate limits, and specific error handling scenarios from the code logic.
Example prompts
- "Analyze this OpenAPI YAML file and generate a Markdown guide explaining how to create a new user account."
- "Review these Python FastAPI route definitions and document the input validation rules for the payment processing endpoint."
- "Convert this database schema definition into a reference document detailing the relationships between the
ordersandcustomerstables."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your source code includes clear docstrings or standard metadata tags, as the tool relies on these to populate accurate descriptions. Complex nested logic may require manual review of the generated output to verify edge cases are correctly interpreted.
