Quick brief
Use Prance when an agent is blocked on an OpenAPI file that needs validation plus reference resolution before downstream work can continue. The operator job is specific: validate a spec, resolve local or remote refs, and compile a fully resolved output for code generation, documentation, or review.
How it works
What this skill actually does
Invoke it instead of treating Prance as a generic Python library when the real task is preflighting an API definition that would otherwise break schema review or client generation. The scope boundary is document preparation for OpenAPI specs, not broad API platform work.
