Doc Writing Skill

Generate structured API documentation from a route manifest.

Input

You will receive a route manifest (JSON array) from the previous pipeline stage. Each entry contains: method, path, file, line, middleware, type.

Process

Step 1: Read Source Code

For each route in the manifest, read the source file to understand:

  • Request parameters (path, query, body)
  • Response format
  • Error handling
  • Business logic summary

Step 2: Generate Documentation

Use the template at templates/endpoint-doc.md for each route group.

Group routes by their source file (e.g., all product routes together).

Step 3: Write Files

Write one markdown file per route group to the docs/ directory:

  • docs/products-api.md
  • docs/categories-api.md
  • etc.

Output

Return a manifest of generated documentation files:

json
{
  "files_generated": ["docs/products-api.md", "docs/categories-api.md"],
  "routes_documented": 8,
  "routes_skipped": [],
  "warnings": []
}

This manifest will be consumed by the next pipeline stage (quality-checking).
