AutoSDK.SourceGenerators 0.30.1-dev.106

AutoSDK

The goal of this project is to automate and minimize the effort of maintaining high-quality .NET SDKs generated based on OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specifications, mainly to strengthen the AI ecosystem within .NET. The code generated by this library is also actively used in dozens of our various SDKs of varying complexity levels and in the LangChain.NET project, which ensures that it is tested in various scenarios and is ready for them.
Inspired by NSwag ❤️.

🚀Quick start🚀

CLI (Recommended)

You can use the CLI to generate the code.

dotnet tool install --global autosdk.cli --prerelease
rm -rf Generated
autosdk generate openapi.yaml \
    --namespace Namespace \
    --clientClassName YourApi \
    --targetFramework net8.0 \
    --output Generated

It will generate the code in the "Generated" subdirectory.
It also will include polyfills for .Net Framework/.Net Standard TargetFrameworks.

Source generator

• Install the package

dotnet add package AutoSDK.SourceGenerators

• Add the following optional settings to your csproj file to customize generation. You can check all settings here:

<ItemGroup Label="AutoSDK">
    <AdditionalFiles Include="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)../../../docs/openapi.yaml" AutoSDK_OpenApiSpecification="true" />
</ItemGroup>


<PropertyGroup Label="AutoSDK">
    <AutoSDK_Namespace>Ollama</AutoSDK_Namespace>
    <AutoSDK_ClassName>OllamaApi</AutoSDK_ClassName>

    
    <AutoSDK_GenerateSdk>false</AutoSDK_GenerateSdk>
    <AutoSDK_GenerateModels>true</AutoSDK_GenerateModels>
    <AutoSDK_GenerateMethods>true</AutoSDK_GenerateMethods>
    <AutoSDK_GenerateConstructors>true</AutoSDK_GenerateConstructors>
    <AutoSDK_IncludeOperationIds>getPet;deletePet</AutoSDK_IncludeOperationIds>
    <AutoSDK_ExcludeOperationIds>getPet;deletePet</AutoSDK_ExcludeOperationIds>
    <AutoSDK_IncludeModels>Pet;Model</AutoSDK_IncludeModels>
    <AutoSDK_ExcludeModels>Pet;Model</AutoSDK_ExcludeModels>
</PropertyGroup>

• It's all! Now you can build your project and use the generated code. You also can use IDE to see the generated code in any moment, this is a example for Rider:
  

Trimming support

CLI

CLI generates Trimming/NativeAOT compatible code by default.

Source generator

Since there are two source generators involved, we will have to create a second project so that the generator for the JsonSerializerContext will “see” our models

• Create new project for your models. And disable methods/constructors generation:

<PropertyGroup Label="AutoSDK">
    <AutoSDK_GenerateSdk>false</AutoSDK_GenerateSdk>
    <AutoSDK_GenerateModels>true</AutoSDK_GenerateModels>
    <AutoSDK_GenerateJsonSerializerContextTypes>true</AutoSDK_GenerateJsonSerializerContextTypes>
</PropertyGroup>

• Reference this project in your main project.
• Add SourceGenerationContext.cs file to your main project with the following content:

using System.Text.Json.Serialization;

namespace Namespace;

[JsonSourceGenerationOptions(DefaultIgnoreCondition = JsonIgnoreCondition.WhenWritingNull)]
[JsonSerializable(typeof(AutoSDKTrimmableSupport))]
internal sealed partial class SourceGenerationContext : JsonSerializerContext;

• Add the following settings to your main csproj file:

<PropertyGroup Label="AutoSDK">
    <AutoSDK_GenerateSdk>false</AutoSDK_GenerateSdk>
    <AutoSDK_GenerateMethods>true</AutoSDK_GenerateMethods>
    <AutoSDK_GenerateConstructors>true</AutoSDK_GenerateConstructors>
    <AutoSDK_JsonSerializerContext>Namespace.SourceGenerationContext</AutoSDK_JsonSerializerContext>
</PropertyGroup>

• Add these settings to your new and main csproj file to enable trimming(or use Directory.Build.props file):

<PropertyGroup Label="Trimmable" Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsTargetFrameworkCompatible('$(TargetFramework)', 'net6.0'))">
    <IsAotCompatible>true</IsAotCompatible>
    <EnableTrimAnalyzer>true</EnableTrimAnalyzer>
    <IsTrimmable>true</IsTrimmable>
    <SuppressTrimAnalysisWarnings>false</SuppressTrimAnalysisWarnings>
    <TrimmerSingleWarn>false</TrimmerSingleWarn>
</PropertyGroup>

• It's all! Now you can build your project and use the generated code with full trimming/nativeAOT support.

Known Errors

Generator error: "Could not write to output file 'Path/to/file'. Could not find part of the path"

This error happens if the generated file path is too long. This happens if you didn't activated long path support on windows. To enable it follow the offical docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry#registry-setting-to-enable-long-paths

AsyncAPI / WebSocket Support

AutoSDK can generate typed WebSocket clients from AsyncAPI 3.0 specifications, producing send/receive methods for each channel operation.

Basic Usage

autosdk generate asyncapi.yaml \
    --namespace MyApi.Realtime \
    --websocket-class-name MyRealtimeClient \
    --output Generated

This generates:

• A WebSocket client class with connect/disconnect lifecycle
• Typed Send* methods for publish operations
• Typed Receive* methods (via event callbacks) for subscribe operations
• All associated models, enums, and JSON converters

Cross-Namespace Schema Referencing

When an API has both REST (OpenAPI) and WebSocket (AsyncAPI) specs that share model types, you can generate them into separate namespaces while avoiding model duplication:

# Step 1: Generate REST API (models + HTTP client) in main namespace
autosdk generate openapi.yaml \
    --namespace MyApi \
    --clientClassName MyApiClient \
    --output Generated

# Step 2: Generate WebSocket client referencing existing REST types
autosdk generate asyncapi.yaml \
    --namespace MyApi.Realtime \
    --websocket-class-name MyRealtimeClient \
    --types-namespace MyApi \
    --generate-models false \
    --json-serializer-context MyApi.SourceGenerationContext \
    --output Generated

Key options:

• --types-namespace <ns> — Generated WebSocket client uses global::<ns>.{TypeName} references instead of its own namespace
• --generate-models false — Skips model/enum/converter generation (they already exist in the types namespace)
• --json-serializer-context <ctx> — References an existing JsonSerializerContext from the types namespace
• --websocket-class-name <name> — Overrides the generated WebSocket client class name

Note: AsyncAPI schema names must match the target namespace's type names. If they differ (e.g., OpenAI where AsyncAPI uses different names), use separate namespaces with full model generation instead.

🤖 Claude Code Skill

AutoSDK is available as a Claude Code skill via skills.sh, enabling AI-assisted SDK generation directly from your terminal.

Install

npx skills add tryAGI/AutoSDK@generating-dotnet-sdks

Usage

Once installed, you can use natural language prompts in Claude Code like:

• "Generate a C# SDK from this OpenAPI spec"
• "Scaffold a new AutoSDK project for the Stripe API"
• "Help me customize the generated client with streaming support"

Claude Code will use the skill's knowledge of AutoSDK CLI options, project conventions, and customization patterns to produce correct commands and code.

What's included

The skill provides Claude Code with detailed knowledge of:

• CLI commands and all their options (generate, init, http, ai spec-from-docs)
• Standard project structure and the generate.sh regeneration pattern
• AsyncAPI / WebSocket client generation and cross-namespace schema referencing
• Post-generation customization (partial classes, client hooks, trimming support)
• Troubleshooting common issues
