TypeSpec Code Generation (tsp-client)

Use this skill to run tsp-client workflows for projects that include a tsp-location.yaml file.

Preconditions

You must be in the directory that contains tsp-location.yaml.
If the file is missing, warn the user and ask for the correct directory (do not run commands).

Commit hash update

If the user provides a commit hash, update the commit: field in tsp-location.yaml before running tsp-client.

Read the file and locate the commit: line.
Replace the value with the provided hash (keep the same key name and formatting).
Example:
Before: commit: 6267b6...
After: commit: <new_hash>

Commands

`tsp-client update`

Pull the latest codegen tooling or definitions (default action when the user is vague).

tsp-client update

`tsp-client sync`

Fetch/sync TypeSpec inputs for the project.

tsp-client sync

`tsp-client generate`

Generate code from TypeSpec inputs.

tsp-client generate

Keep the synced TypeSpec inputs:

tsp-client generate --save-inputs

Steps

Verify tsp-location.yaml exists in the current directory. If not, stop and ask for the correct location.
If the user provided a commit hash, update the commit: value in tsp-location.yaml.
Determine the user intent:
Refresh/update/ingest changes from a commit: run tsp-client update.
Fetch/sync spec from the current commit: run tsp-client sync.
Generate from fetched spec: run tsp-client generate (use --save-inputs only if the user asks to keep inputs).
Generate (no fetch requested): run tsp-client generate.
If the user doesn’t specify, default to tsp-client update.
If the project defines or creates a TempTypeSpecFiles folder and the user wants code generation, run tsp-client generate (with --save-inputs if requested).
If a tsp-client command fails, report the error output and suggest checking the TypeSpec repo/commit referenced in tsp-location.yaml. Build a GitHub URL from repo: and directory: (and include the commit: as the ref), e.g.:
Repo: Azure/azure-rest-api-specs
Commit: 6267b6...
Directory: specification/cognitiveservices/OpenAI.Inference
URL: https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs/tree/6267b6.../specification/cognitiveservices/OpenAI.Inference
