Use this skill when designing, documenting, or generating REST API specifications using OpenAPI/Swagger. Trigger on keywords like OpenAPI, Swagger, API spec, REST documentation, API schema, request body, response schema, and API client generation. Also apply when adopting design-first API development, validating API contracts, or setting up auto-generated API documentation for FastAPI, Express, or NestJS endpoints. --- # OpenAPI & REST API Design ## When to Use - Documenting REST APIs - Generating API clients - API design-first development - Defining webhook contracts - Establishing pagination, versioning, or auth patterns for a new service ## When NOT to Use - Internal-only scripts or automation that do not expose HTTP endpoints - CLI tools and command-line utilities without a REST interface - GraphQL APIs where a different specification format applies --- ## Core Patterns ### 1. OpenAPI 3.1 Specification Structure A complete spec skeleton showing every top-level section. Use `$ref` to split large specs into per-resource files. ```yaml
Skill files are scattered across GitHub and communities, difficult to search, and hard to evaluate. SkillWink organizes open-source skills into a searchable, filterable library you can directly download and use.
We provide keyword search, version updates, multi-metric ranking (downloads / likes / comments / updates), and open SKILL.md standards. You can also discuss usage and improvements on skill detail pages.
Sort by downloads/likes/comments/updated to find higher-quality skills.
4. Which import methods are supported?
Upload archive: .zip / .skill (recommended)
Upload skills folder
Import from GitHub repository
Note: file size for all methods should be within 10MB.
5. How to use in Claude / Codex?
Typical paths (may vary by local setup):
Claude Code:~/.claude/skills/
Codex CLI:~/.codex/skills/
One SKILL.md can usually be reused across tools.
6. Can one skill be shared across tools?
Yes. Most skills are standardized docs + assets, so they can be reused where format is supported.
Example: retrieval + writing + automation scripts as one workflow.
7. Are these skills safe to use?
Some skills come from public GitHub repositories and some are uploaded by SkillWink creators. Always review code before installing and own your security decisions.
8. Why does it not work after import?
Most common reasons:
Wrong folder path or nested one level too deep
Invalid/incomplete SKILL.md fields or format
Dependencies missing (Python/Node/CLI)
Tool has not reloaded skills yet
9. Does SkillWink include duplicates/low-quality skills?
We try to avoid that. Use ranking + comments to surface better skills:
