You parse support skill affixes by implementing parsing templates that convert raw strings into typed SupportMod objects at runtime. This template-driven approach enables reliable calculation engine consumption by validating new affix patterns against the test suite.

Adding a new affix pattern involves implementing templates in the support-mod-templates file, adding mod type references, and validating changes using the parseSupportAffix workflow against the test suite to ensure correct SupportMod object generation.

Typed SupportMod objects are needed because they provide reliable runtime behavior for support skills within the calculation engine. Converting human-readable affix strings into structured types ensures the engine processes support skill modifiers consistently and without errors.

You can extend support mod parsing templates safely by validating changes against the project's test suite. Adding new affix patterns and mod type references requires running the parseSupportAffix workflow to ensure existing SupportMod object generation remains intact.

You validate new mod definitions by running the parseSupportAffix workflow against the existing test suite after implementing the new templates. This confirms raw support skill affix strings accurately convert into expected typed SupportMod objects for the calculation engine.

Template-driven affix parsing is limited by its reliance on predefined patterns; unrecognized support skill affix strings will not convert into typed SupportMod objects without manually adding the corresponding parsing logic and mod type references.
