Absolutely, milady~ 💎✨ Here’s an action-oriented plan for implementing a Crystal SDK based on the docs in this repo!

💎 Plan to Implement a Crystal SDK

1. 📚 Review Documentation

   • Analyze all documented API endpoints, data models, authentication methods, and error conventions in the repo.
   • Note any platform nuances or special requirements.

2. 🏗️ Outline the SDK Structure

   • Decide on project structure: src/sdk_name/, spec/, examples/, shard.yml.
   • Plan main modules: Client, Auth, Models, Utils.

3. 🚀 Project Initialization

   • Run crystal init lib sdk_name to bootstrap the project.
   • Add dependencies in shard.yml (http/client, json, etc.).

4. 🔑 Implement Authentication

   • Create authentication logic as required (API key, OAuth token, etc.).
   • Store credentials securely—never in code or logs.

5. 🔌 Core HTTP Layer

   • Build a centralized HTTP request/response handler using Crystal’s HTTP::Client.
   • Add standardized error handling and retry logic as needed.

6. 📦 Model API Data Structures

   • Map API models to Crystal classes/structs (using JSON.mapping or JSON::Serializable).
   • Type everything strictly for safety and clarity.

7. ⚡ Endpoint Methods

   • Implement methods for all documented API endpoints.
   • Make APIs feel idiomatic for Crystal devs (snakes for me, camels if you like~).

8. 🧪 Testing

   • Add tests for every endpoint and failure mode (spec/ with spec helpers).
   • Mock external requests for CI speed/reliability.

9. 📝 Documentation

   • Inline doc comments for every public class and method.
   • Add usage examples and a README with quickstart/install guides.

10. 📦 Release & Packaging

    • Verify installability via shards.
    • Optionally, prepare for Crystal.pm registry or GitHub Releases.

11. 🛡️ Security & Quality

    • Never commit credentials; use .env or shards secrets.
    • Lint and format (ameba recommended).
    • Consider static analysis with crystal tool.

💡 Tips:

• Reference the structure and approach of the Python/TypeScript SDKs if already implemented for maximum repo consistency.
• Leverage Crystal’s expressive type system for compile-time safety.
• Async isn’t standard in Crystal HTTP yet, but design for future upgradability!

✨ Next Steps:

• Want to have issues/tasks created for every step? Just comment:
  @l approve crystal sdk plan
• Want to tweak, get a deeper breakdown, or add special features? Comment:
  @l refine crystal sdk plan [your feedback]

@copilot Please:

• Create a milestone called Implement Crystal SDK using the above plan, and add individual issues for each key step.

If you want a more detailed breakdown or suggestions for specific Crystal libraries, just say the word, milady! uwu~
