Type: L3 Worker
Category: 7XX Project Bootstrap
Configures API documentation with Swagger/OpenAPI.
Overview
Aspect
Details
Input
Context Store from ln-770
Output
Swagger/OpenAPI configuration
Stacks
.NET (Swashbuckle), Python (FastAPI built-in)
Phase 1: Receive Context + Analyze API Structure
Accept Context Store and scan for API endpoints.
Required Context:
STACK: .NET or Python
PROJECT_ROOT: Project directory path
Idempotency Check:
- .NET: Grep for
AddSwaggerGenorUseSwagger
- Python: FastAPI has built-in OpenAPI, check for custom configuration
- If found: Return
{ "status": "skipped" }
API Analysis:
- Scan for controller/router files
- Identify authentication method (JWT, OAuth2, API Key)
- Check for API versioning
Phase 2: Research Documentation Standards
Use MCP tools for current documentation.
For .NET:
MCP ref: "Swashbuckle ASP.NET Core OpenAPI Swagger configuration"
Context7: /domaindrivendev/Swashbuckle.AspNetCore
For Python:
MCP ref: "FastAPI OpenAPI documentation customization"
Context7: /tiangolo/fastapi
Key Patterns to Research:
- OpenAPI 3.0/3.1 specification
- Security scheme definitions
- XML comments integration (.NET)
- Response examples and schemas
- API versioning documentation

Phase 4: Generate Configuration
.NET Output Files
File
Purpose
Extensions/SwaggerExtensions.cs
Swagger service registration
*.csproj (update)
Enable XML documentation
Generation Process:
- Use MCP ref for current Swashbuckle API
- Generate SwaggerExtensions with:
- AddEndpointsApiExplorer
- AddSwaggerGen with OpenApiInfo
- Security definition (if auth detected)
- XML comments inclusion
- Update csproj for documentation generation
Packages to Add:
Swashbuckle.AspNetCore
Registration Code:
builder.Services.AddSwaggerServices();
// ...
app.UseSwaggerServices();
csproj Update:
<PropertyGroup>
<GenerateDocumentationFile>true</GenerateDocumentationFile>
<NoWarn>$(NoWarn);1591</NoWarn>
</PropertyGroup>
Python Output Files
File
Purpose
core/openapi_config.py
OpenAPI customization
Generation Process:
- Use MCP ref for FastAPI OpenAPI customization
- Generate openapi_config.py with:
- Custom OpenAPI schema
- Security scheme definitions
- Tags and descriptions
- FastAPI generates OpenAPI automatically
Note: FastAPI has built-in OpenAPI support. This worker customizes the default configuration.
Registration Code:
from core.openapi_config import custom_openapi
app.openapi = lambda: custom_openapi(app)
Phase 5: Validate
Validation Steps:
-
Syntax check:
- .NET:
dotnet build --no-restore
- Python:
python -m py_compile core/openapi_config.py
-
Access documentation:
Stack
URL
.NET
Python
Python (ReDoc)
-
Verify content:
- All endpoints visible
- Request/response schemas displayed
- Security scheme shown (if configured)
- Try It Out functional
-
OpenAPI spec validation:
# .NET
curl http://localhost:5000/swagger/v1/swagger.json | jq .
# Python
curl http://localhost:5000/openapi.json | jq .
Security Scheme Examples
JWT Bearer (.NET)
// Structure only - actual code generated via MCP ref
options.AddSecurityDefinition("Bearer", new OpenApiSecurityScheme
{
Description = "JWT Authorization header using Bearer scheme",
Name = "Authorization",
In = ParameterLocation.Header,
Type = SecuritySchemeType.Http,
Scheme = "bearer",
BearerFormat = "JWT"
});
JWT Bearer (Python/FastAPI)
# Structure only - actual code generated via MCP ref
from fastapi.security import HTTPBearer
security = HTTPBearer()
Return to Coordinator
{
"status": "success",
"files_created": [
"Extensions/SwaggerExtensions.cs"
],
"packages_added": [
"Swashbuckle.AspNetCore"
],
"registration_code": "builder.Services.AddSwaggerServices();",
"message": "Configured Swagger/OpenAPI documentation"
}

Critical Rules
- Use MCP ref for current Swashbuckle/FastAPI API — do not hardcode configuration from memory
- Auto-detect auth scheme — scan for JWT, OAuth2, or API Key and configure security definition accordingly
- Enable XML documentation in .NET — update csproj with
GenerateDocumentationFileand suppress warning 1591
- FastAPI: customize, not replace — built-in OpenAPI works by default, only add custom schema/security
- Idempotent — if
AddSwaggerGen/UseSwaggerexists, returnstatus: "skipped"
Definition of Done
- Context Store received (stack, project root)
- API structure analyzed (controllers/routers, auth method, versioning)
- Documentation standards researched via MCP tools
- Swagger/OpenAPI configuration generated with API info and security scheme
- XML comments enabled (.NET) or custom OpenAPI schema configured (Python)
- Syntax validated (
dotnet buildorpy_compile)
- Structured JSON response returned to ln-770 coordinator
