SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Set up a self-correcting guardrail stack for TypeScript projects to enforce code quality and architectural boundaries via automated checks.

Core Features & Use Cases

Detects project type (single-package or monorepo) and generates all necessary configs inline.
Installs and wires essential tools (pre-commit hooks, linting, testing, and security guards).
Works with git hooks to automatically reject commits that introduce violations.
Supports expanding guardrails across packages and teams.

Quick Start

Run the setup to install and configure guardrails for your TypeScript project following these steps.

FAQPage Schema

How do I set up pre-commit hooks for TypeScript linting in a monorepo?▼

Pre-commit hooks for TypeScript monorepos are configured by detecting the project structure, generating ESLint and Prettier configs inline, and wiring lint-staged to reject commits with violations. This automates installation across all packages to enforce quality and architectural boundaries.

What are self-correcting guardrails in a TypeScript project?▼

Self-correcting guardrails are automated quality checks using ESLint, Prettier, and git hooks that intercept commits with code violations. They enforce architectural boundaries by automatically rejecting non-compliant commits and guiding developers to fix issues before integration.

Can I use lint-staged and ESLint with both single-package and monorepo TypeScript projects?▼

Yes, the setup detects whether the project is a single-package or monorepo and generates the appropriate inline configurations. It installs dependencies and wires git hooks to support expanding guardrails across multiple packages and teams.

What's the best way to enforce code quality automatically before a git commit?▼

The best way to enforce code quality is wiring pre-commit hooks with lint-staged to run ESLint and Prettier checks. This creates a zero-violation guardrail stack that intercepts non-compliant commits and ensures architectural boundaries are respected.

How do I configure editorconfig, tsconfig base, and Prettier for TypeScript projects?▼

These foundation files are generated inline during the automated setup process. The workflow creates editorconfig, Prettier, ESLint, and tsconfig base configurations tailored to the detected project type to establish baseline quality standards.

Why do my pre-commit hooks fail to enforce linting across my TypeScript monorepo?▼

Pre-commit hooks fail to enforce linting when foundation configs like ESLint and tsconfig base are missing or not wired with lint-staged. The setup addresses this by generating inline configurations and installing dependencies to achieve zero-violation guardrails.
