SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Documents an existing API contract into precise reference pages per endpoint, mirroring the source specification and preventing drift.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mirrors the contract exactly (OpenAPI/SDL/code) for every endpoint.
  • Includes authentication, pagination, error tables, and versioning notes.
  • Use Case: deliver developer-ready reference docs that map 1:1 to the contract, enabling curl/SDK examples without guessing.

Quick Start

Provide the API contract (OpenAPI/SDL) and let this skill generate reference pages for the requested endpoints.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate API reference docs from an OpenAPI specification?▼

API reference docs are generated by processing an OpenAPI or GraphQL SDL contract to produce exact endpoint pages mapping 1:1 to the source. This ensures fidelity and prevents drift by including method, path, parameters, and schemas.

What is the best way to prevent API documentation drift from code-level contracts?▼

Preventing API documentation drift is achieved by mirroring the source specification exactly for every endpoint. This generates precise reference pages that map 1:1 to the contract, ensuring strict fidelity and preventing inconsistencies.

Can I document GraphQL SDL endpoints using automated reference generation?▼

Automated reference generation supports GraphQL SDL endpoints by applying the process to the SDL contract. It produces a reusable reference structure with request/response schemas and a single runnable example per endpoint.

Does API reference documentation include authentication and pagination details?▼

API reference documentation includes authentication and pagination details alongside error tables and versioning notes. These elements ensure developer-ready reference pages that enable curl/SDK examples without guessing.

How do I create developer-ready API docs with runnable curl examples?▼

Creating developer-ready API docs with runnable curl examples involves mapping the API contract exactly into reference pages. This yields a single runnable example per endpoint, allowing developers to execute requests without guessing parameters.
