ln-775-api-docs-generator

Type: L3 Worker Category: 7XX Project Bootstrap

Configures API documentation with Swagger/OpenAPI.


Overview

AspectDetails
InputContext Store from ln-770
OutputSwagger/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
    AddSwaggerGen
    or
    UseSwagger
  • Python: FastAPI has built-in OpenAPI, check for custom configuration
  • If found: Return
    { "status": "skipped" }

API Analysis:

  1. Scan for controller/router files
  2. Identify authentication method (JWT, OAuth2, API Key)
  3. 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:

  1. OpenAPI 3.0/3.1 specification
  2. Security scheme definitions
  3. XML comments integration (.NET)
  4. Response examples and schemas
  5. API versioning documentation

Phase 3: Decision Points

Q1: API Information

FieldDescriptionRequired
TitleAPI name✓ Yes
VersionAPI version (v1, v2)✓ Yes
DescriptionBrief descriptionOptional

LicenseAPI licenseOptional

Q2: Security Scheme

OAuth2Full OAuth2 flow

Q3: Documentation Features

Phase 4: Generate Configuration

.NET Output Files

FilePurpose
Extensions/SwaggerExtensions.cs
Swagger service registration
*.csproj
(update)
Enable XML documentation

Generation Process:

  1. Use MCP ref for current Swashbuckle API
  2. Generate SwaggerExtensions with:
    • AddEndpointsApiExplorer
    • AddSwaggerGen with OpenApiInfo
    • Security definition (if auth detected)
    • XML comments inclusion
  3. 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

FilePurpose
core/openapi_config.py
OpenAPI customization

Generation Process:

  1. Use MCP ref for FastAPI OpenAPI customization
  2. Generate openapi_config.py with:
    • Custom OpenAPI schema
    • Security scheme definitions
    • Tags and descriptions
  3. 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:

  1. Syntax check:

    • .NET:
      dotnet build --no-restore
    • Python:
      python -m py_compile core/openapi_config.py
  2. Access documentation:

    StackURL
    .NEThttp://localhost:5000/swagger
    Pythonhttp://localhost:5000/docs
    Python (ReDoc)http://localhost:5000/redoc
  3. Verify content:

    • All endpoints visible
    • Request/response schemas displayed
    • Security scheme shown (if configured)
    • Try It Out functional
  4. 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
    GenerateDocumentationFile
    and suppress warning 1591
  • FastAPI: customize, not replace — built-in OpenAPI works by default, only add custom schema/security
  • Idempotent — if
    AddSwaggerGen
    /
    UseSwagger
    exists, return
    status: "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 build
    or
    py_compile
    )
  • Structured JSON response returned to ln-770 coordinator
