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>
