Smithy SDK Generator Skill

Overview

This skill leverages AWS Smithy to generate enterprise-grade SDKs with AWS-style patterns including waiters, paginators, and automatic retries. Smithy provides a protocol-agnostic approach to API modeling.

Capabilities

Design Smithy models with traits for rich API semantics
Generate SDKs with AWS-style patterns (waiters, paginators, retries)
Implement custom code generation plugins
Support multiple protocols (REST, RPC, etc.)
Configure middleware and interceptor chains
Generate comprehensive API documentation
Implement client-side validation from constraints

Target Processes

SDK Code Generation Pipeline
SDK Architecture Design
Multi-Language SDK Strategy

Integration Points

AWS Smithy core and build plugins
smithy-typescript for TypeScript SDK generation
smithy-go for Go SDK generation
smithy-rs for Rust SDK generation
Custom code generators

Input Requirements

Smithy model files (.smithy)
Trait configurations for behaviors
Target language specifications
Custom template overrides (if any)
Protocol selection (restJson1, awsJson1_1, etc.)

Output Artifacts

Generated SDK source code
API documentation
Waiter configurations
Paginator implementations
Client configuration options
Build artifacts per target language

Usage Example

skill:
  name: smithy-sdk-generator
  context:
    modelDirectory: ./model
    targetLanguages:
      - typescript
      - python
      - go
    protocol: restJson1
    generateWaiters: true
    generatePaginators: true
    customTraits: ./traits

Best Practices

Use semantic traits to enrich API behavior
Define clear resource hierarchies
Implement proper pagination patterns
Add waiter definitions for async operations
Use validation constraints for input validation
Document all operations and shapes thoroughly
