Developer toolsAgent Skills for SDK generation and OpenAPI tooling with Speakeasy CLI
Overview
Docs Quickstart // Join us on Slack A collection of Agent Skills for SDK generation and OpenAPI tooling with the Speakeasy CLI. 1. - Distinguish between: - Small issues (naming, descriptions) → Fix with overlays - Structural issues (invalid refs) → Ask the user - Design issues (auth, API structure) → Produce strategy document 2. - Use speakeasy run --output console for structured output, pipe to grep/tail to reduce context 3. - Never modify source specs directly. Overlays make patches portable across spec versions. 4. - Guide users toward sdk.users.list() pattern using x-speakeasy-group + x-speakeasy-name-override See AGENTS.md for guidance on creating and maintaining skills. These skills follow the Agent Skills specification and work with:

Key Principles
-
Don’t auto-fix everything - Distinguish between:
- Small issues (naming, descriptions) → Fix with overlays
- Structural issues (invalid refs) → Ask the user
- Design issues (auth, API structure) → Produce strategy document
-
AI-friendly output - Use
speakeasy run --output consolefor structured output, pipe togrep/tailto reduce context -
Overlay over modify - Never modify source specs directly. Overlays make patches portable across spec versions.
-
Grouped SDK methods - Guide users toward
sdk.users.list()pattern usingx-speakeasy-group+x-speakeasy-name-override
