Use when CONFIGURING an existing SDK - NOT for initial generation. Covers gen.yaml configuration for all languages: TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, C#, PHP, Ruby. Also covers runtime overrides (retries, timeouts, server selection) in application code. Triggers on "configure SDK", "gen.yaml", "SDK options", "SDK config", "SDK configuration", "runtime override", "SDK client config", "override timeout", "per-call config". For NEW SDK generation, use start-new-sdk-project instead.

Configure SDK Options

Configure gen.yaml options for an existing Speakeasy SDK. Supports TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, C#, PHP, and Ruby.

For new SDK projects: Use start-new-sdk-project skill instead. This skill is for configuring an existing SDK.

When to Use

  • Configuring language-specific gen.yaml options on an existing SDK
  • Setting up SDK hooks, async patterns, or publishing
  • Configuring runtime behavior (retries, timeouts, server selection) in application code
  • User says: "configure SDK", "gen.yaml options", "SDK config", "runtime override", "per-call config"
  • User asks about: Zod, Pydantic, NuGet, PyPI, npm, Maven Central, Packagist, RubyGems

Inputs

InputRequiredDescription
Existing SDKYesSDK with .speakeasy/workflow.yaml already created
Target languageYesTypeScript, Python, Go, Java, C#, PHP, or Ruby

Outputs

OutputDescription
Updated gen.yamlLanguage-specific configuration
Hook filesCustom hooks if enabled

Prerequisites

You must have an existing SDK with .speakeasy/workflow.yaml. If not, run:

bash
speakeasy quickstart --skip-interactive --output console \
-s openapi.yaml -t <language> -n "MySDK" -p "<package-name>"

Common Configuration (All Languages)

These options apply to all SDK targets in gen.yaml:

yaml
<language>:
version: 1.0.0
packageName: "my-sdk"
# Method signatures
maxMethodParams: 4 # Params before request object
flatteningOrder: parameters-first
# Error handling
responseFormat: flat # or "envelope" (Go)
clientServerStatusCodesAsErrors: true

TypeScript Configuration

yaml
typescript:
version: 1.0.0
packageName: "@myorg/my-sdk"
moduleFormat: dual # esm, commonjs, or dual
zodVersion: v4-mini # v3, v4, or v4-mini

enableReactQuery: true # React Query hooks
FeatureNotes
Zod validationAutomatic for all models
Tree-shakingUse moduleFormat: dual + standalone functions
JSR publishingCreate jsr.json, run deno publish

Async patterns:

python
# asyncMode: both (default)
result = sdk.users.list() # sync
result = await sdk.users.list_async() # async

SDK Hooks (All Languages)

Enable custom hooks with enableCustomCodeRegions: true. Hook files are preserved across regeneration.

LanguageHook Location
TypeScriptsrc/hooks/
Pythonsrc/<pkg>/_hooks/
Gointernal/hooks/
Javasrc/main/java/.../hooks/
C#src/.../Hooks/
PHPsrc/Hooks/
Rubylib/.../sdk_hooks/

See customize-sdk-hooks skill for detailed hook implementation.

Runtime Overrides

Runtime behavior can be configured at SDK instantiation or per-call. These override gen.yaml defaults.

Server Selection

Define server IDs in OpenAPI spec, then select at runtime:

yaml
# OpenAPI spec
servers:
- url: https://api.example.com
x-speakeasy-server-id: production
- url: https://sandbox.example.com
x-speakeasy-server-id: sandbox
LanguageSDK ConstructorCustom URL
TypeScriptnew SDK({ server: "sandbox" })new SDK({ serverURL: "..." })
PythonSDK(server="sandbox")SDK(server_url="...")
GoSDK.New(SDK.WithServer("sandbox"))SDK.WithServerURL("...")
Retry Overrides

Override retry behavior per-call (spec defaults set via x-speakeasy-retries):

TypeScript:

typescript
const res = await sdk.payments.create({ amount: 1000 }, {
retries: {
strategy: "backoff",
backoff: { initialInterval: 1000, maxInterval: 30000, maxElapsedTime: 120000, exponent: 2.0 },
retryConnectionErrors: true,
},
});

Python:

python
from sdk.utils import BackoffStrategy, RetryConfig
res = sdk.payments.create(amount=1000, retries=RetryConfig("backoff",
backoff=BackoffStrategy(1000, 30000, 120000, 2.0), retry_connection_errors=True))

Go:

go
res, err := sdk.Payments.Create(ctx, req, operations.WithRetries(retry.Config{
Strategy: "backoff", Backoff: &retry.BackoffStrategy{
InitialInterval: 1000, MaxInterval: 30000, MaxElapsedTime: 120000, Exponent: 2.0},
RetryConnectionErrors: true}))
Timeout Overrides

Set global timeout on SDK constructor, or per-call:

LanguageGlobalPer-call
TypeScriptnew SDK({ timeoutMs: 30000 })sdk.op({}, { timeoutMs: 60000 })
PythonSDK(timeout_ms=30000)sdk.op(timeout_ms=60000)
GoSDK.WithTimeoutMs(30000)operations.WithTimeoutMs(60000)
Pagination Usage

SDK auto-generates pagination helpers when x-speakeasy-pagination is set in spec:

typescript
// Auto-iterate all pages
for await (const user of await sdk.users.list({ limit: 50 })) {
console.log(user.name);
}
// Manual pagination
let page = await sdk.users.list({ limit: 50 });
while (page) {
for (const user of page.data) { console.log(user.name); }
page = await page.next();
}

Decision Framework

SituationAction
Need tree-shaking (TS)Set moduleFormat: dual, use standalone functions
Need async/sync (Python)Set asyncMode: both (default)
Need separate async clientSet asyncMode: split (Python)
Need interfaces for testing (Go)Use ifacemaker + mockery
Need custom build config (Java)Edit build-extras.gradle
Need runtime retry overridePass retries config in per-call options
Need runtime timeout overrideSet timeoutMs on constructor or per-call
Need server switchingUse x-speakeasy-server-id in spec, select at runtime

What NOT to Do

  • Do NOT use this skill for initial SDK generation - use start-new-sdk-project
  • Do NOT edit generated files outside custom code regions
  • Do NOT modify files in src/ that aren't in preserved directories (hooks, extra)

Troubleshooting

LanguageIssueSolution
TypeScriptBundle too largeUse standalone functions
PythonAsync pagination blockingEnable fixFlags.asyncPaginationSep2025: true
GoInterface not generatedEnsure struct is exported (capitalized)
JavaGradle sync failsRun ./gradlew --refresh-dependencies
C#Async deadlockUse await not .Result
PHPPHP version errorRequires PHP 8.2+
RubySorbet errorsRun bundle exec tapioca gems
AllRetries not workingEnsure x-speakeasy-retries at document root or operation level
AllServer ID not recognizedAdd x-speakeasy-server-id to each server entry
AllPagination next() undefinedAdd x-speakeasy-pagination to the list operation

After Making Changes

After modifying gen.yaml configuration, prompt the user to regenerate the SDK:

Configuration complete. Would you like to regenerate the SDK now with speakeasy run?

If the user confirms, run:

bash
speakeasy run --output console

Changes to gen.yaml only take effect after regeneration.
