openapi-spec-generation

openapi-spec-generation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from frontal-labs/mcp-server. It costs 42 tokens per session (463 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of openapi-spec-generation, Apache-2.0.

A guide to creating and maintaining OpenAPI 3.1 descriptions for REST APIs. OpenAPI is a standard format that documents an API's endpoints, inputs, outputs, and security rules in a machine-readable file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design an API contract before coding, generate a specification from existing code, check an implementation against its contract, or generate client libraries.
Why use it?
It helps keep API documentation and implementation aligned instead of relying on handwritten, outdated descriptions. The specification can also support validation, documentation portals, and client SDK generation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

openapi-spec-generation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

OpenAPI Spec Generation

Comprehensive patterns for creating, maintaining, and validating OpenAPI 3.1 specifications for RESTful APIs.

When to Use This Skill

  • Creating API documentation from scratch
  • Generating OpenAPI specs from existing code
  • Designing API contracts (design-first approach)
  • Validating API implementations against specs
  • Generating client SDKs from specs
  • Setting up API documentation portals

Core Concepts

1. OpenAPI 3.1 Structure

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: API Title
  version: 1.0.0
servers:
  - url: https://api.example.com/v1
paths:
  /resources:
    get: ...
components:
  schemas: ...
  securitySchemes: ...

2. Design Approaches

Approach Description Best For
Design-First Write spec before code New APIs, contracts
Code-First Generate spec from code Existing APIs
Hybrid Annotate code, generate spec Evolving APIs

Best Practices

Do's

  • Use $ref - Reuse schemas, parameters, responses
  • Add examples - Real-world values help consumers
  • Document errors - All possible error codes
  • Version your API - In URL or header
  • Use semantic versioning - For spec changes

Don'ts

  • Don't use generic descriptions - Be specific
  • Don't skip security - Define all schemes
  • Don't forget nullable - Be explicit about null
  • Don't mix styles - Consistent naming throughout
  • Don't hardcode URLs - Use server variables
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
