Swashbuckle and NSwag for ASP.NET Core API documentation. Covers XML comments, operation filters, and OpenAPI customization. USE WHEN: user mentions "Swagger", "Swashbuckle", "NSwag", ".NET OpenAPI", "API documentation", "Swagger UI", ".NET API docs" DO NOT USE FOR: Springdoc OpenAPI - use `springdoc-openapi`, generic OpenAPI spec - use `openapi`

What this skill does

# Swagger for .NET - Quick Reference

> **Deep Knowledge**: Use `mcp__documentation__fetch_docs` with technology: `aspnet-core` for OpenAPI documentation.

## Swashbuckle Setup

```csharp
// Program.cs
builder.Services.AddEndpointsApiExplorer();
builder.Services.AddSwaggerGen(options =>
{
    options.SwaggerDoc("v1", new OpenApiInfo
    {
        Title = "My API",
        Version = "v1",
        Description = "API for managing users and orders",
    });

    // XML comments
    var xmlFile = $"{Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name}.xml";
    var xmlPath = Path.Combine(AppContext.BaseDirectory, xmlFile);
    options.IncludeXmlComments(xmlPath);

    // JWT auth in Swagger UI
    options.AddSecurityDefinition("Bearer", new OpenApiSecurityScheme
    {
        In = ParameterLocation.Header,
        Description = "Enter JWT token",
        Name = "Authorization",
        Type = SecuritySchemeType.Http,
        BearerFormat = "JWT",
        Scheme = "bearer",
    });
    options.AddSecurityRequirement(new OpenApiSecurityRequirement
    {
        {
            new OpenApiSecurityScheme
            {
                Reference = new OpenApiReference
                {
                    Type = ReferenceType.SecurityScheme,
                    Id = "Bearer",
                }
            },
            Array.Empty<string>()
        }
    });
});

// Enable XML docs in .csproj
// <GenerateDocumentationFile>true</GenerateDocumentationFile>
```

## Controller Annotations

```csharp
/// <summary>
/// Manages user resources
/// </summary>
[ApiController]
[Route("api/[controller]")]
[Produces("application/json")]
[Tags("Users")]
public class UsersController : ControllerBase
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Get user by ID
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="id">The user ID</param>
    /// <returns>The user details</returns>
    /// <response code="200">Returns the user</response>
    /// <response code="404">User not found</response>
    [HttpGet("{id:int}")]
    [ProducesResponseType<UserResponse>(StatusCodes.Status200OK)]
    [ProducesResponseType(StatusCodes.Status404NotFound)]
    public async Task<IActionResult> GetById(int id) { }

    /// <summary>
    /// Create a new user
    /// </summary>
    [HttpPost]
    [ProducesResponseType<UserResponse>(StatusCodes.Status201Created)]
    [ProducesResponseType<ValidationProblemDetails>(StatusCodes.Status400BadRequest)]
    public async Task<IActionResult> Create([FromBody] CreateUserRequest request) { }
}
```

## Operation Filters

```csharp
public class AddCorrelationIdHeader : IOperationFilter
{
    public void Apply(OpenApiOperation operation, OperationFilterContext context)
    {
        operation.Parameters ??= new List<OpenApiParameter>();
        operation.Parameters.Add(new OpenApiParameter
        {
            Name = "X-Correlation-Id",
            In = ParameterLocation.Header,
            Required = false,
            Schema = new OpenApiSchema { Type = "string" },
        });
    }
}

// Register
options.OperationFilter<AddCorrelationIdHeader>();
```

## NSwag Alternative

```csharp
// Install: dotnet add package NSwag.AspNetCore
builder.Services.AddOpenApiDocument(config =>
{
    config.Title = "My API";
    config.Version = "v1";
    config.AddSecurity("Bearer", new NSwag.OpenApiSecurityScheme
    {
        Type = NSwag.OpenApiSecuritySchemeType.Http,
        Scheme = "bearer",
        BearerFormat = "JWT",
    });
});

app.UseOpenApi();
app.UseSwaggerUi();
```

## Anti-Patterns

| Anti-Pattern | Why It's Bad | Correct Approach |
|--------------|--------------|------------------|
| No response type annotations | Incomplete docs | Use `[ProducesResponseType]` |
| Missing XML comments | No descriptions | Enable and write XML docs |
| Swagger in production | Security risk | Conditionally enable for dev |
| No auth scheme in docs | Can't test auth endpoints | Add security definition |

## Quick Troubleshooting

| Issue | Likely Cause | Solution |
|-------|--------------|----------|
| No XML comments | Not enabled | Add `<GenerateDocumentationFile>` |
| Missing endpoint | Wrong route | Check `[Route]` attributes |
| Auth not working in UI | Missing security definition | Add `AddSecurityDefinition` |
| Schema conflicts | Duplicate type names | Use `SchemaId` configuration |

contribute

Included

Local-only OSS contribution command center. Auto-refreshes the user's in-flight PR and issue state on invoke so conversations start with full context — no need to brief Claude on what's in flight. Helps the user find issues to contribute to on GitHub, builds per-repo dossiers of what each upstream expects (CLA, DCO, branch convention, AI policy, draft-first, review bots, issue templates), runs deterministic gates before any external action so AI-assisted contributions don't reach maintainers as slop. State is markdown-only: candidate files at ~/.contribute-system/candidates/, repo dossiers at ~/.contribute-system/research/, append-only event log at ~/.contribute-system/log.jsonl. No database, no cloud calls. Use when the user asks about their PRs / issues / contributions, wants to find new work to take on, claim an issue, build/refresh a repo's dossier, or draft a Design Issue or PR. Trigger with "/contribute", "what's my PR status", "find a contribution", "claim issue X", "draft a Design Issue for Y", "refresh dossier for Z".

architectural-analysis

Included

User-triggered deep architectural analysis of a codebase or scoped subtree across eight modes — information architecture, data flow, integration points, UI surfaces, interaction patterns, data model, control flow, and failure modes. This skill should be used when the user asks to "diagram this codebase," "map the architecture," "show the data flow," "give me an ERD," "trace control flow," "find the integration points," "verify the layout pattern," "audit the UX architecture," or any similar request whose primary deliverable is mermaid diagrams plus cited reports under docs/architecture/. Dispatches haiku/sonnet sub-agents in parallel for per-mode exploration, then verifies every citation mechanically before any node lands in a diagram. Not for one-off prose explanations of code (use code-explanation) or for high-level system design from scratch (use system-design).

react-native-skia

Included

Design, build, debug, and optimise high-polish animated graphics in React Native or Expo using @shopify/react-native-skia, Reanimated, and Gesture Handler. Use when the user wants canvas-driven UI, shaders, paths, rich text, image filters, sprite fields, Skottie, video frames, snapshots, web CanvasKit setup, or performance tuning for custom motion-heavy elements such as loaders, hero art, cards, charts, progress indicators, particle systems, or gesture-driven surfaces. Also use when the user asks for fluid, glow, glass, blob, parallax, 60fps/120fps, or GPU-friendly animated effects in React Native, even if they do not explicitly say "Skia". Do not use for ordinary form/layout work with standard views.

Designscripts

plaid

Included

Product Led AI Development — guides founders from idea to launched product. Six capabilities: Idea (discover a product idea), Validate (pressure-test the idea against fatal flaws, problem reality, competition, and 2-week MVP feasibility), Plan (vision intake + document generation), Design (translate image references into a design.md spec), Launch (go-to-market strategy), and Build (roadmap execution). Use when someone says "PLAID", "plaid idea", "help me find an idea", "product idea", "idea from my business", "idea from my expertise", "plaid validate", "validate my idea", "pressure-test", "is this idea good", "find fatal flaws", "validate the problem", "plan a product", "define my vision", "generate a PRD", "product strategy", "plaid design", "design from image", "translate image to design", "create design.md", "extract design tokens", "plaid launch", "go-to-market", "launch plan", "GTM strategy", "launch playbook", "plaid build", "build the app", "start building", or "execute the roadmap".

Designscripts

nextjs-framer-motion-animations

Included

Adds production-safe Motion for React or Framer Motion animations to Next.js apps, including reveal, hover and tap micro-interactions, whileInView, stagger, AnimatePresence, layout and layoutId transitions, reorder, scroll-linked UI, and lightweight route-content transitions. Use when the user asks to add, refactor, or debug Motion or Framer Motion in App Router or Pages Router codebases, especially around server/client boundaries, reduced motion, LazyMotion, bundle size, hydration, or route transitions. Avoid for GSAP-style timelines, WebGL or 3D scenes, heavy scroll storytelling, or CSS-only effects unless Motion is explicitly requested.
