# spec
Ensures that your API document conforms to the [OpenAPI specification](https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.1.0.html).
| OAS | Compatibility |
| --- | ------------- |
| 2.0 | ✅ |
| 3.0 | ✅ |
| 3.1 | ✅ |
The default setting for this rule (in the `recommended` and `minimal` configuration) is `error`.
This is an essential rule that should not be turned off except in rare and special cases.
## API design principles
It's important to conform to the specification so that tools work with your API document. Doing so makes writing and maintenance of API descriptions easier.
## Configuration
| Option | Type | Description |
| -------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| severity | string | Possible values: `off`, `warn`, `error`. Default `error` (in `recommended` configuration). |
An example configuration:
```yaml
rules:
spec: error
```
## Examples
Given this configuration:
```yaml
rules:
spec: error
```
Example of an **incorrect** spec:
```yaml
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
version: 1.0.0
paths: {}
```
Example of a **correct** spec:
```yaml
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
title: Ultra API
version: 1.0.0
paths: {}
```
