Manual start

↓

1

Lint OpenAPI

Validate openapi.yaml with spectral or swagger-cli. List every error with line numbers.

> npx @redocly/cli lint openapi.yaml
2

Sync handlers

Update route handlers or the spec so documented paths, schemas, and status codes match reality.

✓

Exit condition: lint_clean

OpenAPI spec lints with zero errors

> npx @redocly/cli lint openapi.yaml

Run "OpenAPI Sync Until Valid" in your agent

Prompt only

Deeplinks and "Open in Cursor" only paste the kickoff prompt. They do not install hook files — your agent cannot tell whether files are on disk until you add them yourself.

Two separate pieces

Kickoff prompt — tells the agent the goal, check command, exit condition, and how to self-pace.

Kickoff prompt

Start the "OpenAPI Sync Until Valid" loop.

Goal: openapi.yaml lints clean and matches implemented routes
Max iterations: 8
Between iterations run: npx @redocly/cli lint openapi.yaml
Exit when: OpenAPI lint exits 0

Step 1: Lint openapi.yaml. Fix spec errors and handler drift until lint passes.

Self-pace this loop. After each iteration, run the check command, read the output, and only continue if the exit condition is not met. Stop when the exit condition passes or max iterations is reached. Give a short status update each pass.

Anti-gaming rules

Rules the agent must follow so it cannot cheat the exit condition.

Do not modify the check command or exit criteria to force success
Do not skip, disable, or bypass checks to pass the exit condition
If stuck after several iterations, stop and report blockers instead of gaming metrics
