FAQPage Schema
How do I look up Effect TypeScript library APIs and function signatures?

Look up Effect TypeScript library APIs by searching indexed documentation to find function signatures, types, and module exports. This provides immediate access to exact signatures for functions like Effect.tap without manually browsing the codebase.

What is the best way to find common Effect patterns like Effect.gen and Layer?

Finding common Effect patterns like Effect.gen and Layer involves querying the indexed source code and references. This identifies standard implementation patterns and Context usage directly from the Effect TypeScript library.

Can I search local source code to understand internal Effect module workings?

Yes, you can search local source code to understand internal Effect module workings. The Skill supports local source file navigation, facilitating in-depth implementation details for custom Layer creation and internal function behavior.

Does this API lookup require an MCP server integration for Effect TS?

MCP server integration is supported for indexed documentation but is not strictly required. You can perform direct local source code searching for Effect TypeScript library APIs and patterns without relying on the MCP server.

How do I find usage examples for Effect functions when recalling exact signatures?

To find usage examples for Effect functions, query the API lookup to retrieve signatures and implementation details. This quickly resolves recalling exact signatures for functions like Effect.gen by referencing local files and indexed docs.
