SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

SDK method naming often becomes ugly or inconsistent, making generated clients hard to use. This skill provides AI-powered suggestions to improve naming and supports manual overrides when needed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • AI-assisted operation-id suggestions: generate more readable and consistent names for SDK methods via speakeasy suggest.
  • Manual naming with overlays: apply explicit group and name overrides using x-speakeasy-group and x-speakeasy-name-override extensions.
  • Workflow integration: review AI-generated overlays and apply them to the OpenAPI spec to regenerate clean SDKs.

Quick Start

Use the skill to generate naming suggestions for your OpenAPI spec: speakeasy suggest operation-ids -s openapi.yaml -o naming-overlay.yaml Then review the overlay and apply it in your workflow to regenerate the SDK.

FAQPage Schema
How do I improve SDK method naming for an OpenAPI spec?

You can improve SDK method naming by running AI-powered suggestions via the `speakeasy suggest operation-ids` command on your OpenAPI spec, which generates a naming overlay for consistent and readable operation IDs.

Why are my generated SDK method names inconsistent and ugly?

Generated SDK method names often become ugly or inconsistent due to poorly structured OpenAPI operation IDs. Applying AI-powered naming suggestions and manual overrides refines these IDs for a cleaner SDK client experience.

How do I manually override SDK method names in an OpenAPI spec?

You can manually override SDK method names by applying the `x-speakeasy-group` and `x-speakeasy-name-override` extensions in your OpenAPI spec to explicitly define grouping and naming structures.

Does Speakeasy support AI-powered overlays for OpenAPI operation IDs?

Yes, Speakeasy supports AI-powered overlays by generating suggested operation IDs and outputting them to a YAML overlay file, which you can review and apply directly to your OpenAPI workflow.

What is the best way to apply consistent operation IDs across SDK groups?

The best way to apply consistent operation IDs across SDK groups is to generate an AI-assisted naming overlay and use the `x-speakeasy-group` extension to structure methods logically before regenerating your SDK.
