Turn any OpenAPI spec into agent-callable skills

It extracts focused, executable operations from giant OpenAPI files (the GitHub REST YAML is shown) to shrink context and avoid sidecar adapter sprawl — a pragmatic answer to token bloat and brittle ad-hoc integrations. Useful and concrete: if it actually generates tidy, updateable skill units and runtime hooks it saves a lot of maintenance. That said, the idea competes with existing LangChain/openai-function patterns; the repo will need clear runtime, versioning, and update strategies to feel like more than a nicer converter.
