imprecise-over-inaccurate

What problem does it solve?

Overly precise types can reject valid code, creating false positives and eroding developer trust. This skill promotes using imprecise yet accurate types when precision would cause false negatives or block legitimate use cases.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Advocates for partial precision with safe escape hatches to balance correctness and practicality.
• Shows concrete examples like CSS color typing and JSON Schema to illustrate when to back off.
• Provides decision guidelines for when to revert to coarser typing and when to validate at runtime.

Quick Start

Start by replacing overly precise type unions with broader types and add an escape hatch for unknown inputs.
