FAQPage Schema
How do I handle errors using Result types in TypeScript CLI tools?

Result types in TypeScript CLI tools provide a transport-agnostic way to handle operation outcomes by explicitly wrapping successes and failures. The Outfitter error taxonomy categorizes failures into specific types like ValidationError, NotFoundError, and OutfitterError for structured error handling.

What is the recommended package structure for building a CLI tool with Outfitter?

The recommended package structure for building a CLI tool with Outfitter involves using the @outfitter/cli package alongside transport-agnostic handler systems. Design guides and templates provide step-by-step architectural guidance for defining command handlers and organizing your codebase effectively.

How do transport-agnostic handler systems work in the Outfitter framework?

Transport-agnostic handler systems in the Outfitter framework work by decoupling command logic from the underlying communication protocol. This allows developers to define handler contracts that process requests and return Result types consistently across different transport layers.

Can I use Outfitter packages to build AI-agent-ready tools?

Yes, you can use Outfitter packages to build AI-agent-ready tools. The ecosystem provides comprehensive patterns, templates, and guides that simplify the development of tools designed to interact seamlessly with AI agents.

What is the difference between ValidationError and NotFoundError in Outfitter error taxonomy?

In the Outfitter error taxonomy, ValidationError represents data validation failures, while NotFoundError indicates that a requested resource does not exist. Both are specific categories under the broader OutfitterError base class for structured error handling.

Does the Outfitter framework support TypeScript for command handler contracts?

Yes, the Outfitter framework fully supports TypeScript for defining command handler contracts. It provides design guides and code templates that leverage TypeScript's type system to enforce transport-agnostic handler systems and Result types.
