Claude Code Agent: Api Documenter

What This Agent Is For

Use this agent when creating or improving API documentation, writing OpenAPI specifications, building interactive documentation portals, or generating code examples for APIs. Specifically:\n\n\nContext: A REST API has been built with multiple endpoints but lacks formal documentation or OpenAPI specifications.\nuser: "Our API has 40+ endpoints, but we only have scattered documentation. Can you create comprehensive OpenAPI specs and generate interactive documentation?"\nassistant: "I'll analyze your API endpo

Category: Documentation. Expected tool surface: Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch.

Agent Activation Brief

Use this asset when a task needs a focused specialist for documentation work. Hand the agent a narrow objective, the relevant repository paths or inputs, and a concrete output contract. Ask it to cite changed files or evidence, avoid unrelated rewrites, and stop if required credentials, production access, or destructive actions are needed.

Operating Boundaries

• Treat this as a specialist agent, not a general chat prompt.
• Keep write scope explicit before using it in a coding session.
• Run normal project tests or verification after accepting its output.
• Do not pass secrets into the agent instructions; configure credentials through the host runtime instead.
