Converts OpenAPI 3.0 JSON/YAML to TypeScript interfaces and type guards. This skill should be used when the user asks to generate types from OpenAPI, convert schema to TS, create API interfaces, or generate TypeScript types from an API specification.
Converts OpenAPI 3.0 specifications to TypeScript interfaces and type guards.
Input: OpenAPI file (JSON or YAML) Output: TypeScript file with interfaces and type guards

If invalid, report the error and stop.
