Hi, I’m the author of the article and the person who designed and implemented the specs transforms. At Stainless we’ve been using an internal version since around the end of 2022 that grew organically to 50+ commands. They have been commonly used by our largest customers to workaround various spec issues without necessitating upstream changes. This year we took the time to reflect on that experience and designed a small set of operations that are more flexible, more intuitive, and compose well together. And made them available to everyone. That’s the version presented in this blog post.

Happy to answer any questions you would have :)
