## What it does

The skill kicks in when you ask for endpoint docs or an OpenAPI spec. It walks the source code and produces the pieces you would otherwise write by hand: OpenAPI/Swagger specs, endpoint documentation, SDK usage examples, integration guides, error code references and authentication guides.

The output follows a fixed shape. Every endpoint gets a heading with method and path, a short description, a parameter table with type and required flag, response bodies per status code with JSON samples, then call examples in cURL, JavaScript and Python. Because the structure repeats, it is easy to match an existing house style across a large API surface.

It only documents what the code already contains. If a route is not in the source, it will not show up in the spec — so this is a step you run after the handlers exist, not before.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add luongnv89/claude-howto --skill doc-generator -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/doc-generator/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/doc-generator/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add luongnv89/claude-howto --skill doc-generator -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/doc-generator/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add luongnv89/claude-howto --skill doc-generator -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/doc-generator/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install luongnv89/claude-howto doc-generator
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/doc-generator/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add luongnv89/claude-howto --skill doc-generator -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/luongnv89/claude-howto --path uk/03-skills/doc-generator
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/doc-generator/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add luongnv89/claude-howto --skill doc-generator -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/luongnv89/claude-howto/tree/HEAD/uk/03-skills/doc-generator/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- turn existing routes into an OpenAPI spec
- document an endpoint with its parameters and status codes
- add cURL, JavaScript and Python call examples
- collect error codes into one reference
- write an authentication guide for outside developers

## Example prompts
- generate API docs for every endpoint under `src/routes`
- build an OpenAPI spec from the current handlers
- add cURL and Python examples to the user endpoint docs
