Description
We built an open-source tool that scans your codebase and generates OpenAPI docs in minutes. Right now it supports Rails, Go, Python, and NodeJS frameworks, and we will keep adding more. It picks up routes, params, request bodies, and models directly from the code and outputs a clean OpenAPI spec you can drop into your workflow.

Could you build this?
Partial Parsing static code across multiple distinct programming languages (Rails, Go, Python, Node) and correctly inferring route structures, request/response models, and types requires sophisticated AST parsing and framework-specific semantics.
What it would actually take: The engine needs Tree-sitter or language-specific AST parsers for Ruby, Python, Go, and TypeScript to traverse ASTs and locate framework-specific routing calls (e.g., Express, Gin, Django, Rails) and serializer/model definitions. A deterministic analyzer must infer schemas and types from dynamically typed or partially annotated code and compile them into valid OpenAPI 3.x specifications.
