echo "🔍 Analyzing API endpoints..."

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 "✅ API documentation completed"

echo "📊 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

on_error: |

echo "⚠️ Documentation error: {{error_message}}"

echo "🔧 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..."
