OpenAPI Spec Generation

Generate and maintain OpenAPI 3.1 specifications from code, design-first specs, and validation…

Everything you need to author, generate, and validate OpenAPI 3.1 specifications that stay in sync with your code. It covers design-first specs, code-first generation from FastAPI and tsoa, and automated linting so your API contract becomes the single source of truth for docs, SDKs, mocks, and tests. No more drift between what the API says and what it does.

Contract first, code second. The skill produces and enforces the API contract in this exact loop, so SDKs, docs and tests all derive from one source:

  1. Decide the approach per project: design-first (spec written and agreed before code) for new APIs, code-first (FastAPI/Pydantic or tsoa decorators generating the spec) for existing services
  2. Write the spec skeleton: info with version and rate limit docs, server list (production, staging, local), tags, then every path with operationId, summary, parameters and examples
  3. Build the components layer for reuse: shared schemas referenced with $ref, common parameters (pagination, IDs), a single consistent Error schema with code, message, details and requestId used by every 4xx/5xx response
  4. Lock down security in the spec itself: bearerAuth and apiKey schemes defined, a security requirement on every endpoint, sensitive fields marked readOnly, rate limit headers documented on 429 responses
  5. Lint before anything ships: Spectral ruleset enforces operationIds, descriptions and naming conventions, Redocly validates examples and mime types, failures block the merge
  6. Generate the downstream artifacts from the validated spec: TypeScript, Python or Go clients via openapi-generator, bundled docs via Redocly, and version every breaking change with a new path prefix while keeping operationIds stable

Who it's for

This wasn't forged for everyone.

  • Not for you if you'd rather rent a tool than own one.
  • Not for you if you want someone else to run your stack.
  • Not for you if you're happy guessing.
Still here? Good.

For backend and platform engineers who treat the API contract as a product and want spec, code, and docs to never disagree.

then this was forged for you.

Questions · still in the air

Catch what's on your mind.

the air is clear. nothing between you and the forge.
catch a spark: the forge will answer

  1. We run Express, not FastAPI, am I covered?

    Partly by templates, fully by method. The ready code-first templates target Python/FastAPI and TypeScript/tsoa, and generating a spec from existing Express code is a supported use case; the design-first authoring, $ref patterns, and Spectral/Redocly linting are framework-agnostic.

  2. How does it keep the spec from drifting away from the actual API?

    By making the spec the single canonical source: SDKs, docs, and mocks are all derived from it, and Spectral plus Redocly rulesets run in CI to catch contract violations before merge. Drift stops being something you discover from angry API consumers.

  3. Does it write the API implementation for me?

    No. It produces the contract, lint rules, SDK generation commands, and documentation portals, the endpoint logic behind that contract is still your code. It also targets OpenAPI 3.1, so legacy Swagger 2.0 documents need upgrading first.

  4. How is it delivered?

    By email right after purchase: ready to run, downloaded instantly, no setup wait.

  5. One-time or subscription?

    A one-time purchase; no subscription or hidden fees. VAT (20%) is included.

  6. Can I get a refund?

    As a digital product, it can’t be refunded once downloaded. That’s why we show exactly what’s inside and who it’s for, right here.
