Route Scanning Skill
Discover all API route definitions in Express.js source files.
Process
Step 1: Run Route Scanner
Execute the scanning script:
bashpython3 scripts/scan-routes.py <source_directory>
The script outputs a structured route list with method, path, file, and line number.
Step 2: Enrich Route Data
For each discovered route, also identify:
- Middleware applied (auth, validation, etc.)
- Whether it's a standard route or chained route (
router.route())
Output Format
Return a JSON-compatible route manifest:
json[ { "method": "GET", "path": "/api/products", "file": "src/routes/products.js", "line": 8, "middleware": ["requireAuth"], "type": "standard" } ]
This manifest will be consumed by the next pipeline stage (doc-writing).
