 How discovery works (in order):
 
-1. If you configure one or more candidate client fixture names (see configuration below), the plugin will try each in order and wrap the first matching fixture it finds.
-2. If no configured client fixture is found, the plugin will look for a standard `app` fixture and use that to create a tracked client.
-3. If neither a client fixture nor an `app` fixture is available (or the plugin cannot extract an app from the client), coverage tracking will be skipped and a helpful message is shown.
+1. **OpenAPI Spec**: If an OpenAPI spec file is configured (via CLI or config), endpoints are discovered directly from the spec. This takes precedence over app-based discovery.
+2. **Client Fixtures**: If no spec is provided, the plugin looks for configured client fixtures and extracts the app from them.
+3. **App Fixture**: If no client fixture is found, the plugin looks for a standard `app` fixture.
+4. **Skip**: If none of the above are found, coverage tracking is skipped.

+## OpenAPI Specification Support
+
+You can use an OpenAPI specification file (JSON or YAML) as the source of truth for API endpoints. This is useful if your app structure makes automatic discovery difficult, or if you want to ensure coverage against a defined contract.
+
+### Usage
+
+```bash
+# Use an OpenAPI spec file
+pytest --api-cov-report --api-cov-openapi-spec=openapi.yaml
+```
+
+Or in `pyproject.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[tool.pytest_api_cov]
+openapi_spec = "openapi.json"
+```
+
+When an OpenAPI spec is provided:
+- Endpoints are loaded from the spec file.
+- App-based discovery is skipped (unless the spec yields no endpoints).
+- Coverage is calculated against the endpoints defined in the spec.
+
 ## HTTP Method-Aware Coverage
 
 By default, pytest-api-cov tracks coverage for **each HTTP method separately**. This means `GET /users` and `POST /users` are treated as different endpoints for coverage purposes.
