API Documentation Generator

Generate comprehensive API documentation from source code.

Quick Reference

| Task | Resource |

|------|----------|

| Identify framework | See PATTERNS.md |

| Documentation standards | See STANDARDS.md |

| Example outputs | See EXAMPLES.md |

Process

Step 1: Identify API Endpoints

Look for route definitions. For framework-specific patterns, see PATTERNS.md.

Step 2: Extract Information

For each endpoint, extract:

  • HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.)
  • Path/route
  • Parameters (path, query, body)
  • Request/response schemas
  • Authentication requirements

Step 3: Generate Documentation

Use the template in templates/endpoint.md for each endpoint.

Step 4: Create Overview

Generate an index using templates/index.md.

Output Formats

Markdown (Default)

Generate markdown suitable for README or docs site.

OpenAPI/Swagger

If requested, generate OpenAPI 3.0 spec. See templates/openapi.yaml.

Automation

To auto-detect routes:

python scripts/detect_routes.py <source_directory>

To validate OpenAPI spec:

./scripts/validate_openapi.sh <spec_file>

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take huangjia2019/claude-code-engineering-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.
