api-spectral
About
This skill uses Spectral to lint and validate API specifications (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Arazzo) for security flaws and design issues. It checks against standards like OWASP API Top 10 and allows custom rule creation for governance. Use it to enforce security and design policies directly within your API development and CI/CD pipelines.
