| speakeasy:sdk-tf-generation-best-practices | Progressive Disclosure — Comprehensive guide to all Speakeasy SDK and Terraform generation capability and best practices. Routes to detailed guides for generation workflows, language-specific patterns, customization, testing, and OpenAPI spec management |

| speakeasy:start-new-sdk-project | You have an OpenAPI spec and want to generate an SDK |

| speakeasy:regenerate-sdk | Your spec changed and you need to regenerate |

| speakeasy:validate-openapi-spec | Checking if spec is valid, running speakeasy lint |

| speakeasy:get-ai-suggestions | SDK method names are ugly, wanting to improve operation IDs |

| speakeasy:check-workspace-status | Asking what targets/sources are configured |

| speakeasy:create-openapi-overlay | Need to customize SDK without editing source spec |

| speakeasy:apply-openapi-overlay | Applying an overlay file to a spec |

| speakeasy:merge-openapi-specs | Combining multiple OpenAPI specs |

| speakeasy:diagnose-generation-failure | SDK generation failed, seeing "Step Failed: Workflow" |

| speakeasy:fix-validation-errors-with-overlays | Have lint errors but can't modify source spec |

| speakeasy:improve-operation-ids | SDK methods have names like GetApiV1Users |

| speakeasy:configure-authentication | Setting up Speakeasy auth in CI/CD or non-interactive environments |

1. 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

1. AI-friendly output - Use speakeasy run --output console for structured output, pipe to grep/tail to reduce context

1. Overlay over modify - Never modify source specs directly. Overlays make patches portable across spec versions.

1. Grouped SDK methods - Guide users toward sdk.users.list() pattern using x-speakeasy-group + x-speakeasy-name-override
