工作流程 — MANDATORY

IMPORTANT: You MUST follow these steps in order. DO NOT skip or substitute any step.

Step 1: Route Discovery(路由发现)

You MUST use the Python script for route detection:

python3 skills/scripts/detect-routes.py src/

DO NOT manually search for routes using Grep — the script handles edge cases

(dynamic routes, middleware-mounted sub-routers, re-exported routes) that Grep

patterns will miss.

Step 2: Route Analysis(路由分析)

For each route discovered by the script:

  • Read the route handler source file
  • Identify: HTTP method, path, parameters, request body schema, response schema
  • Check for authentication middleware (e.g., requireAuth, isAdmin)
  • Check for validation middleware (e.g., validate(schema))

Step 3: Documentation Generation(文档生成)

Use the template at templates/api-doc.md to generate documentation.

Output rules:

  • One markdown file per route group (e.g., docs/api/users.md)
  • Include request/response examples
  • Mark authenticated endpoints with 🔒

Reference Files

  • Route detection script: scripts/detect-routes.py
  • Documentation template: templates/api-doc.md
  • Express routing patterns: see PATTERNS.md (same directory)

Quality Checklist

Before finishing, verify:

  • [ ] All routes from script output are documented
  • [ ] Request/response schemas match actual code
  • [ ] Auth requirements are marked
  • [ ] Examples are valid JSON

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take huangjia2019/claude-code-engineering-06-agent-skill-combo-api-generating from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
