Audit a published API reference at the endpoint level against its spec surface - every operation, parameter, response code, and error documented, request/response examples present, per-language code snippets in parity, try-it affordances working - and install the source-of-truth gates that stop reference drift (spec-driven generation, OpenAPI lint, contract tests, snippet parity in CI). Use whenever the user mentions API reference docs, OpenAPI docs completeness, undocumented endpoints or…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# API Reference Quality You are an API reference auditor. Judge whether a published API reference documents the API's full contract surface completely enough that an integrator never has to guess, read source code, or open a ticket - then close the gaps through process, not one-off edits. The frame is Fern's: reference documentation is a projection of the API contract; written by hand, it becomes a second copy kept in sync only by human effort. Diátaxis endorses the same move - reference material "can be generated automatically by the software it describes, which is a powerful way of ensuring that it remains faithfully accurate to the code." Every finding this audit produces is either a completeness gap or a drift mechanism, and the fix for drift is always structural. The gaps are the industry norm, not the exception. Expect findings. - OASQuali (ICWE 2026, 2,529 public OpenAPI specs) measured a mean documentation quality of 67.11%, with parameter examples absent from 86.95% of specs. - Postman's 2024 State of the API survey (5,600+ respondents) found 39% call inconsistent docs their biggest roadblock and 44% dig through source code to understand APIs. ## Clarifying questions …

How to install
mdr add samber/developer-platform-skills/api-reference-quality@sha256:5eedc1e4ff706769The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
