Traceability

  • [x] story:sdk label present on board item
  • [ ] story note MISSING -- project-postmark-email user-stories section has entries for iac-email and transactional-email only; no sdk entry. [SCOPE] Create user story entry for sdk on project-postmark-email user-stories section.
  • [x] arch:api label present on board item
  • [ ] arch note WRONG PROJECT -- arch-api note exists but belongs to prediction-assistant (Kalshi), not postmark. [SCOPE] Create architecture note for postmark API component (e.g. arch-postmark-api or repurpose arch-api slug with postmark content).
  • [x] Forgejo issue -- ldraney/postmark-account-sdk#1, open

File Targets

  • [x] ~/postmark-email/postmark-account-api.yaml -- verified exists (29k), valid swagger spec for Postmark Account-level API v0.9.0
  • [x] ~/forgejo-sdk/ -- verified exists as reference repo
  • [ ] ~/forgejo-sdk/ -- ISSUE: issue Constraints say "Follow the pattern established by ~/forgejo-sdk" but forgejo-sdk has no docs/ directory, no CLAUDE.md symlink, no architecture/user-story/acceptance-criteria docs. The proposed structure is new, not a clone of forgejo-sdk's pattern.
  • [ ] ~/postmark-account-sdk/ -- NOT cloned locally. Repo exists on Forgejo with only README.md. Agent will need to clone before working.
  • [x] All 6 target files are "to be created" -- no pre-existing file verification needed beyond sources

Repo Placement

OK. Issue filed on ldraney/postmark-account-sdk, ### Repo section matches. Single-repo scope.

Dependencies

  • Sprint 2: SDK implementation (#1915, 5pt) depends on this docs PR completing first -- documented implicitly by sprint numbering
  • Sprint 3: Woodpecker pipeline (#1917, 2pt) depends on Sprint 2
  • No items currently in_progress blocking this ticket
  • Sibling Sprint 1 docs PRs for other repos (#1910 postmark-server-sdk, #1912 postmark-server-mcp, #1913 postmark-account-mcp) are independent and can run in parallel

Acceptance Criteria

  • [x] 7 AC items, all verifiable by an agent (file existence, symlink check, content inspection)
  • [ ] AC #7 "All docs reference the Postmark Account API endpoints from the swagger spec" is vague -- does not specify which endpoints or what "reference" means. An agent could interpret this very broadly or very narrowly. Consider specifying: "docs/architecture.md lists all endpoint groups from the swagger spec".

Blast Radius

Minimal. Docs-only PR in a nearly empty repo. Swagger spec is copied, not modified at source. No downstream consumers affected.

Decomposition Assessment

6 file targets in 1 repo, 7 AC items. The 7 AC count exceeds the >5 threshold, but all work is documentation generation from a swagger spec following a template. Estimated agent time: under 5 minutes. No decomposition needed -- docs generation is inherently fast and the files are tightly coupled (they all reference the same spec).

Recommendation

  • [SCOPE] Create user story entry for sdk on project-postmark-email user-stories section. Currently only iac-email and transactional-email stories exist.
  • [SCOPE] Create postmark-specific architecture note. The current arch-api note (slug) belongs to prediction-assistant. Options: create arch-postmark-api, or create a new note with a postmark-scoped slug.
  • [BODY] Constraints section: clarify or remove "Follow the pattern established by ~/forgejo-sdk" -- that repo has no docs/ directory, no CLAUDE.md, and no architecture/user-story/acceptance-criteria docs. The proposed structure is original, not a pattern clone. Suggest: "Establish the docs pattern for postmark SDK repos" or reference a different exemplar.
  • [BODY] Related section: change postmark to postmark-email to match the actual project slug in pal-e-docs.
