On the subject of APIs, anyone knows how to split Open API
3.0 specs into separate files? I'm using swagger-cli but it is abandoned lately.

You can start writing multiple OpenAPI files and merge them with tools like openapi-merger (https://www.npmjs.com/package/openapi-merger). Is that maybe what you want?

* I note this is not splitting one large one into small, but the actually starting with smaller ones, as the other commenter suggested
I store different api logic in their own files. Then I use yq to stitch them all together. After which, I use openapi-generator to make a yaml output.

- yq version 3.4.1 (Worth noting, the example uses an out of date yq, so a few modifictaions might be needed)

Beautiful. Didn't know something like this exists. Reminds me of Katai[0]

CUE is indeed a beautiful language, will get those mind juices flowing for sure!
There is more work to be done on the codec implementation, but if you just want to split yaml/json across files, CUE is a great option
You might also like my project, built on CUE: https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof We have a TUI where you can explore and work with CUE, JSON, Yaml
