REST API Contract Generator
Example session with this skill installed
Generate an API contract for a POST /auth/register endpoint that takes email and password. Password must be 8 chars. Return a 201 on success or 400 if the email exists.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the rest api contract
I have generated the API contract for the registration endpoint, including validation rules and standard error responses.
API Contract: User Registration
Endpoint: POST /auth/register
Description: Registers a new user account using an email address and password.
Auth Required: No
📥 Request:
- Headers:
Content-Type: application/json - Parameters: None
- Body Example:
{
"email": "user@example.com",
"password": "securePassword123"
}
- Validation:
email: Required, must be a valid RFC 5322 format.password: Required, minimum 8 characters.
📤 Responses:
- 201 Created: User successfully registered.
{
"id": "uuid-v4-string",
"email": "user@example.com",
"created_at": "2023-10-27T10:00:00Z"
}
- 400 Bad Request: Email already in use or validation failed.
{
"error": "Email already exists",
"code": "DUPLICATE_USER"
}
- 500 Internal Server Error: Unexpected server-side failure.
{
"error": "Internal server error",
"code": "SERVER_ERROR"
}
Next steps
- Copy the body schema into your frontend validation logic.
- Add the
400error handling to your registration form UI. - Export this to your
openapi.yamlfile for Swagger UI synchronization.

About this skill
The problem
Writing API documentation is tedious and error-prone. Frontend and backend teams often drift out of sync because updating OpenAPI specs manually is the first task developers skip during rapid iteration.
What it does
- Extracts HTTP methods, paths, and authentication requirements from raw code or descriptions.
- Defines strict request schemas including headers, query parameters, and validation rules like min-length or regex.
- Generates comprehensive response schemas for success states and standardized error codes (400, 401, 404, 500).
- Produces OpenAPI-ready structures that can be dropped directly into YAML or JSON specifications.
Frameworks & tools
Compatible with any REST-based stack including Node.js, Python FastAPI, Go, and Ruby on Rails. Outputs standard OpenAPI/Swagger formats.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic LLMs often forget to include critical error states or omit validation logic found in your code. This skill enforces a strict contract structure that covers edge cases, headers, and specific data types required for production-grade documentation.
Use cases
- Documenting a new route immediately after writing the controller logic.
- Generating a mock contract for frontend developers before the backend is built.
- Updating outdated Swagger files during a major API refactor.
- Standardizing error response formats across a microservices architecture.
