I built go-respec to solve a long-standing annoyance with OpenAPI tooling in Go — the overwhelming reliance on magic comments and boilerplate. If you’ve used swaggo, oapi-codegen, or similar tools, you probably know the pain.

go-respec takes a different approach:

- No annotations - No code generation - No wrappers

It statically analyzes your Go source and infers a full OpenAPI v3 spec — routes, request/response bodies, parameters, middleware, even security — and gives you clean override options when needed. It’s framework-agnostic (works with chi, gin, echo, etc.) and doesn’t care what architecture you use.

You can get a working spec in seconds:

    go install github.com/Zachacious/go-respec/cmd/respec@latest
    respec . -o openapi.yaml

Would love your thoughts, critiques, or feature requests.
