hey, what a great project! it’s pretty common to use spec to refer to an OpenAPI file, we did this, too.
I’m super picky with wording, though and there is this a great OpenAPI glossary which helps here:

TL;DR
- "spec" refers to the specification, the OpenAPI standard
- the file is what we call the OpenAPI document
- and the document contains an API definition
I mean, it’s not super horrible to go with "spec" (because most projects do), but on the other hand a new project is a great opportunity trying to fix that. :)
take from it what you want. just feedback from someone who is super picky with that stuff. ❤
