Api contract audit

/api-contract-audit — API ↔ Documentation Sync

Score /100. Verify every controller endpoint is documented and every documented endpoint exists in code. Adapt <module> / <modules> placeholders to your project layout.

Process

1. Extract Endpoints from Code

# Controllers in a single module
grep -rn "@GetMapping\|@PostMapping\|@PutMapping\|@DeleteMapping\|@PatchMapping\|@RequestMapping" \
  --include="*.java" src/main/ | grep -v test

# Controllers across all modules (multi-module project)
grep -rn "@GetMapping\|@PostMapping\|@PutMapping\|@DeleteMapping" \
  --include="*.java" <modules>/*/src/main/ | grep -v test

2. Extract Endpoints from Docs

# API contract docs (3-layer business docs convention)
grep -rn "^### \|^## \|GET \|POST \|PUT \|DELETE \|PATCH " \
  documents/01-business/*/api-contract.md | head -50

3. Primacy: bug-finding > scoring (BLOCKING)

An audit's purpose is to surface API-contract drift BEFORE consumers (mobile app, third-party integrations, partners) hit it. A /100 score with hidden undocumented endpoints is WORSE than a low score listing each with Controller.java:line evidence. Per .claude/rules/audit-skill-rubric-api-contract-audit.md §4 (mirror of the security-audit bug-finding-primacy pattern).

Rules for every audit run:

1. Enumerate ALL §4 sub-checks per category. NEVER skip "obviously fine."
2. Each sub-check returns: PASS / FAIL / N/A-with-reason / ❓ UNCHECKED. No partial credit.
3. Final output starts with bug list (every undocumented/drifted endpoint with file:line + severity) BEFORE the score.
4. Score is descriptive only; audit-level verdict = FAIL if ANY P0 sub-check FAILS.
5. If audit time-budget runs out, mark ❓ UNCHECKED — do NOT default to PASS.

4. Score 5 Categories with per-check rubric

Every category binds to a per-check pass/fail rule.

#	Category (20pts)	Per-check rubric file
1	Endpoint Coverage	.claude/rules/audit-skill-rubric-api-contract-audit.md §2.1 (6 sub-checks)
2	Request/Response Match	.claude/rules/audit-skill-rubric-api-contract-audit.md §2.2 (6 sub-checks)
3	Error Code Consistency	.claude/rules/audit-skill-rubric-api-contract-audit.md §2.3 (5 sub-checks)
4	Versioning & Deprecation	.claude/rules/audit-skill-rubric-api-contract-audit.md §2.4 (5 sub-checks)
5	Integration Test Coverage	.claude/rules/audit-skill-rubric-api-contract-audit.md §2.5 (5 sub-checks)

Per-check scoring (all 5 categories)

For each Category N:

1. Walk through every §2 sub-check in the bound rule.
2. Mark each sub-check PASS / FAIL / N/A-with-reason / ❓ UNCHECKED.
3. Score = 20 - (failed_P0_count * 6) - (failed_P1_count * 3) - (failed_P2_count * 1), floor 0; cap 20 if all PASS.
4. If ANY P0 sub-check fails → category total CAPPED at 16/20 AND audit-level verdict = FAIL.
5. Each FAIL surfaces in bug list per §3 primacy.

Format: 2-column table per domain — Code endpoints | Doc endpoints — highlight mismatches.

Context Management

Token budget ~30-45K. Multi-microservice projects có thể tạo output rất lớn. Kiểm soát:

1. Grep output limiting — LUÔN | head -30 per service. Tổng controller grep cho nhiều services nếu không limit = 200+ lines.
2. Per-service delegation — Nếu >4 microservices, chia subagent theo nhóm service:
   • Agent 1: core module (1 service)
   • Agent 2: remaining services
   • Mỗi agent: extract endpoints → compare với api-contract.md → trả mismatch list
3. Diff-based audit — Sau baseline, chỉ check endpoints trong files changed since last audit:

   git diff main --name-only | grep -E 'Controller\.java|api-contract\.md'
   

4. Mismatch-first output — KHÔNG list tất cả endpoints khớp. Chỉ output mismatches + summary count.

Gotchas

• Gateway routes (/api/v1/**) proxy to backend services — check gateway config for actual public paths
• Multi-microservice projects — check ALL service controllers, not just one
• Public endpoints (no auth): /public/** — documented differently from authenticated ones
• Websocket/SSE endpoints may not follow REST pattern — document separately
• Controller grep output for many services rất lớn — LUÔN limit per service
• Multi-module scope — single-module greps miss controllers in sibling modules. If adding a new service module, update grep paths OR switch to broad --include="*.java" from repo root.
