LLM API Documentation Generation

Overview

Generate accurate API documentation directly from route definitions and handlers. AI keeps docs synchronized with implementation, eliminating drift and manual maintenance.

Why It Matters

API docs drift the moment code changes. AI generates accurate documentation from route definitions - keeping docs synchronized with reality.

The Risk

Implementation Components

A complete implementation of this capability includes:

• Route definition parsing (Flask, FastAPI, Express, etc.)
• Handler code analysis for parameters and responses
• LLM generation of endpoint descriptions
• OpenAPI/Swagger spec generation
• Example request/response generation
• Automated docs publishing

AI Integration

Implementation Pattern

1. 1Parse route definitions and handler code
2. 2Send to LLM with API structure
3. 3Generate endpoint documentation
4. 4Publish to docs site or OpenAPI spec
