SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the steep learning curve of Effect v4 by providing verified, idiomatic patterns for core operations, preventing common pitfalls like silent runtime failures, incorrect error handling, and misuse of deprecated v3 constructs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Idiomatic Pattern Guidance: Provides the correct spelling for generators, error recovery, and resource management in Effect v4.
  • Safety Guardrails: Highlights critical differences between v3 and v4, such as the removal of FiberRef and the introduction of Context.Reference, to ensure code stability.
  • Use Case: Use this skill when refactoring a legacy v3 codebase to v4 to ensure that error handling, fiber management, and service definitions align with the latest architectural standards.

Quick Start

Ask the effect-v4-idioms skill to explain the correct way to implement a generator-based workflow using Effect.gen and the new options object syntax.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write idiomatic Effect v4 generator-based workflows in TypeScript?▼

Idiomatic Effect v4 generator-based workflows use the Effect.gen function combined with the new options object syntax to define structured, synchronous-looking asynchronous operations in TypeScript.

What changed in Effect v4 error handling and fiber management from v3?▼

Effect v4 error handling and fiber management changes include the removal of FiberRef and the introduction of Context.Reference, replacing deprecated v3 constructs to ensure code stability and typed error recovery.

How do I migrate deprecated Effect v3 service definitions to v4?▼

Migrating deprecated Effect v3 service definitions to v4 involves transitioning to the new Context.Reference architectural standard, avoiding silent runtime failures and ensuring alignment with current v4.0.0+ API specifications.

What is the best way to handle resource cleanup in Effect v4?▼

The best way to handle resource cleanup in Effect v4 is by using the library's updated idiomatic patterns for safe resource management, ensuring proper fiber management and compliance with v4.0.0+ API specifications.

Why does my refactored TypeScript Effect code fail silently after upgrading?▼

Refactored TypeScript Effect code fails silently after upgrading when deprecated v3 constructs like FiberRef are used instead of the correct v4 idiomatic patterns for typed error recovery and service definitions.
