工作流程 — MANDATORY

IMPORTANT: You MUST follow these steps in order. DO NOT skip or substitute any step.

Step 1: Route Discovery(路由发现)

You MUST use the Python script for route detection:

python3 skills/scripts/detect-routes.py src/

DO NOT manually search for routes using Grep — the script handles edge cases (dynamic routes, middleware-mounted sub-routers, re-exported routes) that Grep patterns will miss.

Step 2: Route Analysis(路由分析)

For each route discovered by the script:

  1. Read the route handler source file
  2. Identify: HTTP method, path, parameters, request body schema, response schema
  3. Check for authentication middleware (e.g., requireAuth, isAdmin)
  4. Check for validation middleware (e.g., validate(schema))

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
