How does this help with error handling?

The skill implements RFC 7807 (Problem Details for HTTP APIs), providing a consistent and machine-readable way to communicate errors to API consumers.

Does it support complex data models?

Yes, it provides sophisticated component schema management, allowing for nested objects, arrays, enums, and reusable references.

What is API-first development?

API-first development is a strategy where the API contract is designed and documented before writing the implementation code, ensuring a better developer experience and team alignment.

Does this skill support the latest OpenAPI standards?

Yes, this skill is specifically designed for OpenAPI 3.1.0, supporting the latest features and JSON Schema integrations.

Can I define security schemes with this skill?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for common security requirements like Bearer Auth, API keys, and other standard security definitions.

API Development

Authors and validates high-quality OpenAPI 3.1 specifications to streamline API-first design and contract-driven development.

About

The OpenAPI Authoring skill empowers developers to architect robust RESTful services by automating the creation of standardized OpenAPI 3.1 specifications. It enforces API-first methodology by providing templates for complex path operations, reusable component schemas, and standardized patterns for pagination and error handling. Whether you are bootstrapping a new microservice or documenting an existing system, this skill ensures your API contracts are consistent, valid, and follow industry best practices for security and hypermedia.

Key Features

Full OpenAPI 3.1 specification generation and validation
Pre-configured templates for RESTful CRUD operations
Reusable component library for schemas, parameters, and responses
Built-in patterns for API pagination and hypermedia links
Standardized RFC 7807 error response structures
12 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Architecting new microservices using a contract-first development approach
Standardizing API documentation across multiple development teams
Updating existing specifications with new endpoints and security schemes
