# Ignoring methods or schemas

> Skip reading specific OpenRPC elements using `x-fern-ignore` extension

Use `x-fern-ignore` to exclude specific methods or schemas from SDK generation:

```yaml title="openrpc.yml" {4-5, 12-13}
methods:
  - name: debug.internalMethod
    summary: Internal debugging method
    x-fern-ignore: true
    params:
      - name: debugData
        schema:
          type: object
    result:
      name: debugResult
      schema:
        type: object
  - name: test.experimentalFeature
    summary: Experimental feature (not ready for public use)
    x-fern-ignore: true
    params: []
    result:
      name: result
      schema:
        type: string
```
