User description

Summary

  • Rewrites the README to WAVE's house README standard (badges, quick start, links row, repo-layout and related-packages tables) used by the org's best-scoring READMEs (adk, mcp-server).
  • Every claim is grounded in this repo: openapi.yaml (43 paths / 16 tags, counted directly), capabilities.json (lifecycle ga, v3.0.0), and the existing usage commands.
  • Corrects an ungrounded "34 API modules" claim inherited from a different package's README — that number describes @wave-av/sdk, not this spec; api-spec's own README now states its own counted numbers (43 paths, 16 tags) instead.
  • No new capabilities are claimed beyond what's in this repo.

Test plan

  • Preview renders correctly on GitHub
  • Linked npm packages (sdk, adk, mcp-server, cli) resolve on npmjs.org

Note

Low Risk
Markdown and changelog updates only; no runtime, API, or CI behavior changes.

Overview
Documentation-only refresh of the top-level README and an Unreleased → Documentation changelog entry.

The README is restructured to match the org’s house style (centered intro, badges, link row, Quick start, Repo layout / Related packages tables, footer). It replaces vague “34 API modules” framing with spec-grounded coverage (229 paths, 181 tags) and points readers at openapi.yaml, capabilities.json, and the public-repo guard script.

Auth and errors are clarified for integrators: most routes use Bearer + the shared Error envelope, while x402 /render operations (renderVideo, renderPoll, renderEvents with security: []) and device-authorization responses are called out as exceptions. The normalized error JSON example is corrected so details is an object and suggestions / did_you_mean are arrays, matching the Error schema. Pagination (page / perPage) and rate-limit Retry-After behavior are noted briefly.

Note

Rewrite README to match house standard for api-spec

  • Updates README.md with a centered header, badges, and corrected metrics (43 endpoints, 17 tags including MoQ and Render).
  • Adds sections for 'What this is', 'Errors', repo layout, and 'Related packages' with structured tables.
  • Clarifies that renderVideo, renderPoll, and renderEvents omit Bearer auth via security: [] and use x402 payment challenge instead.
  • Logs the README rewrite in CHANGELOG.md under Unreleased > Documentation.

Macroscope summarized 2afdfda.

Summary by Sourcery

Refresh the project documentation to accurately describe the current API specification and make the repository easier to use and navigate.

Enhancements:

  • Rework the README into the project’s standard structure with badges, quick-start guidance, authentication and error documentation, repository layout, related packages, and project links.
  • Correct README API metrics and clarify authentication, error-envelope exceptions, pagination, rate limiting, and lifecycle metadata based on the current specification.

Documentation:

  • Add a changelog entry documenting the README rewrite and corrections to API guidance.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Refresh the README with accurate API guidance and repository information

What Changed

  • Replaced the outdated README with a structured guide covering the 43 documented endpoints, 17 tag groups, quick-start commands, repository layout, related packages, and project links
  • Clarified that most endpoints use Bearer authentication, while the three render operations use x402 payment challenges instead
  • Added a normalized error response example with field types matching the API specification
  • Documented pagination, rate-limit responses, and the spec’s GA status and version
  • Added a changelog entry describing the documentation corrections

Impact

✅ Clearer API setup instructions
✅ Fewer authentication integration mistakes
✅ Correct error response types for client developers

Verdict: Would Approve

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This PR only restructures the README and records that documentation change in the changelog; it does not alter executable code, the API schema, configuration, or production behavior. The current README includes the relevant authentication and error-shape exceptions, while the supplied comment concerns are addressed or stale.

Not approved because:

docs: rewrite README to WAVE house standard with grounded claims

📝 Documentation 🕐 10-20 Minutes

Grey Divider

AI Description

• Adopt WAVE house README layout (badges, links row, quick start, tables).
• Ground README metrics in-repo; remove incorrect “34 API modules” claim.
• Document auth, error envelope, pagination/rate-limit notes, and related packages.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Auto-generate README metrics from the spec in CI
  • ➕ Prevents drift for endpoint/tag counts and other spec-derived numbers
  • ➕ Makes future updates mechanical and reviewable via generated diffs
  • ➖ Adds CI complexity and a generation script/tooling dependency
  • ➖ Generated README sections can be harder to edit manually
2. Replace hard counts with “see spec” references only
  • ➕ Eliminates risk of numeric claims becoming stale
  • ➕ Keeps README shorter and more maintenance-free
  • ➖ Less informative at a glance for newcomers
  • ➖ Reduces marketing/at-a-glance clarity compared to house standard

Recommendation: The chosen approach (house-style README with explicitly grounded claims) is the right default for a public spec repo and directly addresses prior ungrounded statements. If the endpoint/tag counts are expected to change frequently, consider the CI-generated metrics option later to keep those numbers correct without manual recounting.

Rewrite README to WAVE house format and correct/spec-ground all claims

• Replaces the prior minimal README with a standardized WAVE layout including badges, link row, and a quick-start command block. Corrects the inherited inaccurate “34 API modules” statement by instead documenting spec-derived counts (43 paths / 16 tags) and adds sections for errors, pagination/rate limits, repo layout, and related packages.

This comment was marked as resolved.

- README claimed 16 tags; openapi.yaml declares 17 (MoQ and Render
  were added recently). Fixed in header, "What this is", and repo
  layout table.
- README claimed every endpoint requires a Bearer token; renderVideo,
  renderPoll, and renderEvents set security:[] and use an x402
  payment challenge instead. Qualified the claim.
- Added the required CHANGELOG.md Unreleased entry for the README
  rewrite per AGENTS.md.

`details` is typed as an object and `suggestions`/`did_you_mean` as arrays of
strings in the Error schema (openapi.yaml), but the README example rendered
all three as plain strings, which would lead readers to build the wrong
client type.

CodeAnt Nitpicks

3 code suggestions

1. The changelog describes 17 tags as the corrected complete count, but openapi.yaml defines many additional capability tags beyond Render.

Api mismatch · CHANGELOG.md:133-138


2. The exception list omits the credential-free /agent/auth/device and /agent/auth/token routes, so clients may incorrectly require or attach a Bearer token during device authorization.

Api mismatch · README.md:41-43


3. The inventory is incorrect: openapi.yaml extends far beyond 3,589 lines and defines substantially more than 43 paths and 17 tags.

Api mismatch · README.md:64

In `@CHANGELOG.md`:

section to use a Conventional Commit title, changing “README rewrite” to a title
such as “docs: rewrite README” while preserving the rest of the entry.

In `@README.md`:
- Line 1: Update README.md so the document begins with the top-level api-spec
heading before the existing centered HTML block, or replace it with a
first-element h1, ensuring it satisfies markdownlint rule MD041.
- Around line 7-9: Reconcile the API counts in README.md with the current
repository state and CHANGELOG.md: recompute documented endpoint/path and tag
totals from openapi.yaml, then update every README occurrence (including the
referenced sections) or correct the corresponding Unreleased changelog figures
so all counts consistently describe the same state.
- Line 13: Update the GitHub link label in the README navigation from “github”
to the official “GitHub” spelling, leaving the URL and other labels unchanged.
