# OpenAPI Generator Skill

Generates OpenAPI specifications from code annotations, legacy APIs, or runtime analysis, with schema inference and documentation generation.

## Purpose

Enable API documentation for:
- Spec generation from code
- Schema inference
- Example generation
- Validation rule extraction
- Documentation generation

## Capabilities

### 1. Spec Generation from Code Annotations
- Parse JSDoc/Swagger annotations
- Extract from decorators
- Process code comments
- Support multiple languages

### 2. Schema Inference
- Infer from TypeScript types
- Extract from runtime samples
- Build from database models
- Derive from existing payloads

### 3. Example Generation
- Generate realistic examples
- Create edge case samples
- Produce validation examples
- Build test fixtures

### 4. Validation Rule Extraction
- Extract validation constraints
- Document required fields
- Map format rules
- Export enum values

### 5. Versioning Support
- Track API versions
- Generate diff between versions
- Document breaking changes
- Support multiple versions

### 6. Documentation Generation
- Generate Swagger UI
- Create ReDoc pages
- Export to Postman
- Build developer portals
