I was looking to write the threads-api proposal in a bit more detail and I noticed there are 2 files included with the other proposals: .wit.md and a .abi.md file (also present in the repo that's suggested to clone for a new proposal.

To me it seems like both files contain the same information. Was there a transition from one to the other? It's unclear if both are required or just one is sufficient.

I'm glad there's a way to generate those, i found it strange to put size / alignment by hand :grinning:
