Standardizes API design and OpenAPI documentation to ensure consistency and high-quality SDK generation.
This skill provides a comprehensive reference guide for OpenAPI best practices, enabling developers to write high-quality specifications that are optimized for both machine readability and human consumption. It offers granular guidance on naming conventions, complex data patterns like polymorphism and discriminators, and effective documentation strategies using CommonMark. By implementing these established patterns, developers can avoid common pitfalls, improve API discoverability, and ensure that downstream tooling—such as the Speakeasy CLI—produces predictable, type-safe client libraries and robust documentation.
