npx skills add codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit --skill openapi
Built-in OpenAPI support for .NET 10 applications. Covers document generation, transformers, TypedResults metadata, security schemes, XML comments, build-time generation, and multiple document support. No Swashbuckle needed. Load this skill when setting up API documentation, customizing OpenAPI output, adding security schemes to docs, or when the user mentions "OpenAPI", "AddOpenApi", "MapOpenApi", "document transformer", "operation transformer", "schema transformer", "OpenAPI 3.1", "API documentation", "Swashbuckle replacement", "Produces", "WithSummary", "WithDescription", "ProblemDetails", "Kiota", or "client generation".

Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi as the official, framework-maintained OpenAPI solution. Swashbuckle was removed from templates in .NET 9 and is no longer recommended.TypedResults.Ok<T>() automatically generates correct OpenAPI response schemas. Results.Ok() does not. Always use TypedResults..WithName(), .WithSummary(), .WithTags() on every endpoint. This metadata feeds directly into the OpenAPI spec and client generators.With TypedResults, response metadata is inferred automatically:
Endpoints without .WithGroupName() appear in all documents.
Enable in the project file — the source generator extracts <summary>, <param>, <response> tags automatically:
XML comments on lambdas are not captured by the compiler. Use named methods.
The spec file is generated in the output directory during build.
| Scenario | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| New API project | AddOpenApi() + MapOpenApi() (built-in) |
| API documentation UI | Scalar (MapScalarApiReference()) |
| Security schemes in docs | Document transformer with IOpenApiDocumentTransformer |
| Response documentation | TypedResults with union return types |
| XML doc integration | <GenerateDocumentationFile>true</GenerateDocumentationFile> |
| Multiple API versions | Multiple AddOpenApi("v1") calls + WithGroupName() |
| Client code generation | Kiota (Microsoft recommended) or NSwag |
| Build-time spec | Microsoft.Extensions.ApiDescription.Server package |
| OpenAPI version | 3.1 (default in .NET 10), force 3.0 if consumers require it |
| Per-endpoint customization | .AddOpenApiOperationTransformer() on the endpoint |
