$ npx skills add jabrena/plinth --skill 701-technologies-openapi

Summary

  • Use when you need framework-agnostic OpenAPI 3.x guidance — spec structure, metadata and versioning, paths and operations, reusable schemas, security schemes, examples, documentation quality, contract validation (e.g.
  • Spectral), breaking-change awareness, and handoffs to codegen — without choosing Spring Boot, Quarkus, or Micronaut.
  • This should trigger for requests such as Review an OpenAPI; Improve an OpenAPI; Improve API contract; Improve API schema design.
  • Part of Plinth Toolkit

OpenAPI 3.x best practices

Help teams produce maintainable OpenAPI 3.x contracts that stay aligned with HTTP semantics and consumer needs.

What is covered in this Skill?

  • Document structure: openapi, info, servers, tags, and consistent resource grouping
  • Path and operation design: parameters, request bodies, response matrices, operationId, status codes
  • Reusable components (schemas, parameters, responses, security schemes) and examples
  • Validation and CI: spec linting, breaking-change checks, pre-codegen gates
  • Security modeling in the contract (schemes, scopes, global vs operation security)
  • Clear boundaries between contract-first design and runtime implementation concerns

Scope: Contract-first quality only. Focus this skill on OpenAPI design, quality, and governance guidance.

Constraints

Keep recommendations at the OpenAPI layer unless the user explicitly asks for Java framework integration. After editing this repository's XML sources, regenerate skills and verify the build.

  • MANDATORY: Run ./mvnw compile or mvn compile before proposing Java or Maven changes in the same change set
  • FRAMEWORK: Keep guidance contract-centric; do not prescribe framework-specific controller wiring or runtime exposure details
  • FUZZING: Keep fuzzing guidance high-level and contract-focused without linking to external skill identifiers
  • VERIFY: Run ./mvnw clean verify or mvn clean verify before promoting changes
  • EDGE CASE: If the user goal is ambiguous, stop and ask a clarifying question before editing files or running project-wide commands
  • EDGE CASE: If required context, files, credentials, or tools are missing, report the blocker explicitly and ask whether to proceed with setup or fallback guidance
  • EDGE CASE: If requested changes conflict with project constraints or safety boundaries, explain the conflict and ask for user confirmation on the preferred trade-off

When to use this skill

  • Review an OpenAPI
  • Improve an OpenAPI
  • Improve API contract
  • Improve API schema design
  • Validate an OpenAPI spec

Workflow

  1. Read reference and assess project context

Read references/701-technologies-openapi.md and inspect current API/context artifacts before proposing changes.

  1. Gather scope and decide target improvements

Identify requested outcomes, constraints, and the minimum safe set of changes to apply.

  1. Apply technology-aligned changes

Implement or refactor artifacts following the reference patterns and project conventions.

  1. Run verification and report results

Execute appropriate checks and summarize what changed, what was verified, and any follow-up actions.
