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.

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
Read reference and assess project context
Read references/701-technologies-openapi.md and inspect current API/context artifacts before proposing changes.
Gather scope and decide target improvements
Identify requested outcomes, constraints, and the minimum safe set of changes to apply.
Apply technology-aligned changes
Implement or refactor artifacts following the reference patterns and project conventions.
Run verification and report results
Execute appropriate checks and summarize what changed, what was verified, and any follow-up actions.
