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.
