Create Bruno .bru request files for API endpoints found in the project source code. Use when the user asks to generate Bruno API files from source code, mentions the Bruno API client, or wants to scaffold .bru files for HTTP requests.

source content

Create Bruno .bru request files for API endpoints found in the project source code.

Input: $ARGUMENTS (a source file path or description of which API calls to generate .bru files for)

Context

This project uses Bruno (open-source API client) with a collection in

.bruno/
. The collection config is
.bruno/bruno.json
and shared variables live in
.bruno/collection.bru
(gitignored; template at
.bruno/collection.example.bru
).

Instructions

Step 1: Identify API calls

Read the source file specified in $ARGUMENTS. Extract every HTTP request:

  • Method (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE)
  • URL / endpoint path
  • Headers (auth, content-type, custom headers)
  • Query parameters
  • Request body (if any)

If $ARGUMENTS is empty or unclear, use AskUserQuestion to ask which file or endpoints to generate .bru files for.

Step 2: Check existing .bru files

List existing request files in

.bruno/
to avoid duplicates:

ls .bruno/*.bru

If a .bru file already covers the same endpoint, skip it and inform the user.

Step 3: Review collection variables

Read

.bruno/collection.example.bru
to see which variables are already defined. If the new requests need variables not yet in the collection, note them for Step 5.

Step 4: Create .bru files

For each unique API endpoint, create a

.bru
file in
.bruno/
following these conventions:

Naming

  • Use kebab-case:
    verb-resource.bru
    (e.g.,
    list-users.bru
    ,
    create-order.bru
    ,
    get-item-by-id.bru
    )
  • Name should reflect the action, not the URL path

File format

meta {
  name: <kebab-case-name>
  type: http
  seq: <next-available-sequence-number>
}

<method> {
  url: <url-with-{{variables}}-for-dynamic-segments>
  body: <none|json|form|xml>
  auth: <none|bearer|basic>
}

auth:bearer {
  token: {{token_variable}}
}

headers {
  X-Custom-Header: value
}

body:json {
  {
    "field": "value"
  }
}

Rules

  • Use
    {{variable_name}}
    for dynamic URL segments, tokens, IDs — never hardcode secrets or IDs
  • Include
    auth:bearer
    block when the API uses bearer token auth
  • Include
    headers
    block only for non-standard headers (not Content-Type for JSON — Bruno handles that)
  • Include
    body:json
    block for POST/PUT/PATCH with a realistic example body matching the source code's payload structure
  • Set
    seq
    to continue from the highest existing sequence number

Step 5: Update collection variables (if needed)

If new variables are required (e.g., a new

api_key
,
user_id
, etc.):

  1. Read the current
    .bruno/collection.example.bru
  2. Add the new variables with empty values to the
    vars:pre-request
    block
  3. Inform the user to also update their local
    .bruno/collection.bru
    with the new variables

Step 6: Summary

Display a table of created files:

FileMethodEndpointSource
name.bru
GET
/path
file.py:line

If any variables were added, list them and remind the user to fill values in

collection.bru
.
