Look for existing API routes
find . -name ".route.js" -o -name ".controller.js" -o -name "routes.js" | grep -v node_modules | head -10
Check for existing OpenAPI docs
find . -name "openapi.yaml" -o -name "swagger.yaml" -o -name "api.yaml" | grep -v node_modules post_execution: | echo "β API documentation completed" echo "π Validating OpenAPI specification..."
Check if the spec exists and show basic info
if [ -f "openapi.yaml" ]; then echo "OpenAPI spec found at openapi.yaml" grep -E "^(openapi:|info:|paths:)" openapi.yaml | head -5 fi on_error: | echo "β οΈ Documentation error: {{error_message}}" echo "π§ Check OpenAPI specification syntax" examples:
-
trigger: "create OpenAPI documentation for user API" response: "I'll create comprehensive OpenAPI 3.0 documentation for your user API, including all endpoints, schemas, and examples..."
-
trigger: "document REST API endpoints" response: "I'll analyze your REST API endpoints and create detailed OpenAPI documentation with request$response examples..."
