Generate TypeScript types and Zod schemas for Output SDK workflows by running the type-generation tool against your schemas to produce ready-to-use definitions. It defines and exports workflow input, step input, and step output types for validation and runtime execution.

Ensure type safety for Output SDK workflows by generating TypeScript definitions that mirror Zod schemas. This approach provides compile-time type checking and runtime validation simultaneously, reducing manual boilerplate and ensuring consistent input and output validation across projects.

Yes, you need z imported from @outputai/core to use the generated workflow types. The tool requires this dependency to define and export WorkflowInput, StepInput, and StepOutput schemas that validate data during runtime execution.

Yes, you can define optional fields, defaults, and validation describes when creating Zod schemas for Output SDK step inputs. The type-generation tool supports these common patterns to mirror schemas accurately for downstream project integration.

Generating types from Zod schemas automates the creation of strongly-typed TypeScript definitions, ensuring schemas and types never drift apart. Unlike manual interface definitions, this approach guarantees consistent validation and reduces boilerplate across downstream projects.

WorkflowInput types may not match runtime validation if TypeScript definitions and Zod schemas are manually maintained separately. Generating types directly from schemas ensures compile-time types accurately mirror runtime validation rules for step inputs and outputs.
