SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a standardized framework for managing complex TypeScript monorepos, ensuring consistent dependency handling, type safety, and efficient artifact routing across multiple packages.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workspace Orchestration: Simplifies cross-package dependency management and task execution using pnpm workspaces.
  • Contract-First Development: Integrates OpenAPI specifications with automated code generation for Zod schemas and React Query hooks.
  • Use Case: When adding a new feature that requires a shared database schema and a new API endpoint, this skill guides you through updating the shared library, regenerating the API client, and maintaining strict type safety across the frontend and backend.

Quick Start

Use the pnpm-workspace skill to guide the setup of a new shared library package and its integration into the root TypeScript solution configuration.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage TypeScript project references in a pnpm monorepo?

Managing TypeScript project references in a pnpm monorepo requires standardizing workspace architecture to enforce strict type safety and consistent dependency handling across multiple deployable artifacts. This ensures cross-package tasks execute reliably.

What is the best way to generate API client code from OpenAPI in a TypeScript monorepo?

Generating API client code in a TypeScript monorepo is best handled through contract-first development, integrating OpenAPI specifications with automated codegen for Zod schemas and React Query hooks to maintain strict type safety.

How do I share database schemas and Drizzle definitions across multiple packages?

Sharing database schemas across multiple packages is facilitated by standardizing monorepo architecture with shared library definitions. This enforces consistent type safety and service routing across both frontend and backend deployable artifacts.

Does this workspace approach support contract-first API development with automated codegen?

Yes, the workspace approach supports contract-first API development by integrating OpenAPI specifications with automated code generation. This produces Zod schemas and React Query hooks while ensuring consistent logging and type safety.

Why do I need strict TypeScript project references for my monorepo workspace?

Strict TypeScript project references are needed to standardize monorepo architecture, enforce type safety across shared libraries, and ensure consistent dependency management and service routing across multiple deployable artifacts.

Can I use pnpm workspaces to simplify cross-package dependency management?

Yes, you can use pnpm workspaces to simplify cross-package dependency management and task execution. This orchestrates workspace architecture by enforcing strict TypeScript project references and consistent dependency handling.
