This is raw OpenFGA code:

    await client.Write(
        new ClientWriteRequest(
            [
                // Alice is an admin of form 123
                new()
                {
                    Object = "form:124",
                    Relation = "editor",
                    User = "user:avery",
                },
            ]
        )
    );

    var checkResponse = await client.Check(
        new ClientCheckRequest
        {
            Object = "form:124",
            Relation = "editor",
            User = "user:avery",
        }
    );

    var checkResponse2 = await client.Check(
        new ClientCheckRequest
        {
            Object = "form:125",
            Relation = "editor",
            User = "user:avery",
        }
    );

This is an abstraction we wrote on top of it:

    await Permissions
        .WithClient(client)
        .ToMutate()
        .Add<User, Form>("alice", "editor", "226")
        .Add<User, Team>("alice", "member", "motion")
        .SaveChangesAsync();

    var allAllowed = await Permissions
        .WithClient(client)
        .ToValidate()
        .Can<User, Form>("alice", "edit", "226")
        .Has<User, Team>("alice", "member", "motion")
        .ValidateAllAsync();

You would make the case that the former is better than the latter?

In the first example, I have to learn and understand OpenFGA, in the second example I have to learn and understand OpenFGA and your abstractions.

Well the point of using abstractions is that you don't need to know the things that it is abstracting. I think the abstraction here is self explaining what it does and you can certainly understand and use it without needing to understand all the specifics behind it.

More importantly: it prevents "usr:alice_123" instead of "user:alice_123" by using the type constraint to generate the prefix for the identifier.
