Best use case
openapi-to-application-code is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Generate a complete, production-ready application from an OpenAPI specification. Use when creating controllers, services, models, and configurations from an OpenAPI/Swagger spec.
Teams using openapi-to-application-code should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.

# Generate Application from OpenAPI Spec Your goal is to generate a complete, working application from an OpenAPI specification using the active framework's conventions and best practices. ## Input Requirements 1. **OpenAPI Specification**: Provide either: - A URL to the OpenAPI spec (e.g., `https://api.example.com/openapi.json`) - A local file path to the OpenAPI spec - The full OpenAPI specification content pasted directly 2. **Project Details** (if not in spec): - Project name and description - Target framework and version - Package/namespace naming conventions - Authentication method (if not specified in OpenAPI) ## Generation Process ### Step 1: Analyze the OpenAPI Specification - Validate the OpenAPI spec for completeness and correctness - Identify all endpoints, HTTP methods, request/response schemas - Extract authentication requirements and security schemes - Note data model relationships and constraints - Flag any ambiguities or incomplete definitions ### Step 2: Design Application Architecture - Plan directory structure appropriate for the framework - Identify controller/handler grouping by resource or domain - Design service layer organization for business logic - Plan data models and entity relationships - Design configuration and initialization strategy ### Step 3: Generate Application Code - Create project structure with build/package configuration files - Generate models/DTOs from OpenAPI schemas - Generate controllers/handlers with route mappings - Generate service layer with business logic - Generate repository/data access layer if applicable - Add error handling, validation, and logging - Generate configuration and startup code ### Step 4: Add Supporting Files - Generate appropriate unit tests for services and controllers - Create README with setup and running instructions - Add .localdocs and environment configuration templates - Generate API documentation files - Create example requests/integration tests ## Output Structure The generated application will include: ``` project-name/ ├── README.md ├── [build-config] ├── src/ │ ├── main/ │ │ ├── [language]/ │ │ │ ├── controllers/ │ │ │ ├── services/ │ │ │ ├── models/ │ │ │ ├── repositories/ │ │ │ └── config/ │ │ └── resources/ │ └── test/ │ ├── [language]/ │ │ ├── controllers/ │ │ └── services/ │ └── resources/ ├── .localdocs ├── .env.example └── docker-compose.yml ``` ## Best Practices Applied - **Framework Conventions**: Follows framework-specific naming, structure, and patterns - **Separation of Concerns**: Clear layers with controllers, services, and repositories - **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error handling with meaningful responses - **Validation**: Input validation and schema validation throughout - **Logging**: Structured logging for debugging and monitoring - **Testing**: Unit tests for services and controllers - **Documentation**: Inline code documentation and setup instructions - **Security**: Implements authentication/authorization from OpenAPI spec - **Scalability**: Design patterns support growth and maintenance ## Questions to Ask if Needed - Should the application include database/ORM setup, or just in-memory/mock data? - Do you want Docker configuration for containerization? - Should authentication be JWT, OAuth2, API keys, or basic auth? - Do you need integration tests or just unit tests? - Any specific database technology preferences? - Should the API include pagination, filtering, and sorting examples?
