工作流程 — MANDATORY

IMPORTANT: You MUST follow these steps in order. DO NOT skip or substitute any step.

Step 1: Route Discovery(路由发现)

You MUST use the Python script for route detection:

bash
python3 skills/scripts/detect-routes.py src/

DO NOT manually search for routes using Grep — the script handles edge cases (dynamic routes, middleware-mounted sub-routers, re-exported routes) that Grep patterns will miss.

Step 2: Route Analysis(路由分析)

For each route discovered by the script:

  1. Read the route handler source file
  2. Identify: HTTP method, path, parameters, request body schema, response schema
  3. Check for authentication middleware (e.g., requireAuth, isAdmin)
  4. Check for validation middleware (e.g., validate(schema))

Step 3: Documentation Generation(文档生成)

Use the template at templates/api-doc.md to generate documentation.

Output rules:

  • One markdown file per route group (e.g., docs/api/users.md)
  • Include request/response examples
  • Mark authenticated endpoints with 🔒

Reference Files

  • Route detection script: scripts/detect-routes.py
  • Documentation template: templates/api-doc.md
  • Express routing patterns: see PATTERNS.md (same directory)

Quality Checklist

Before finishing, verify:

  • All routes from script output are documented
  • Request/response schemas match actual code
  • Auth requirements are marked
  • Examples are valid JSON
