What problem does it solve?
Type-safe TypeScript codebases can be hard to enforce without a consistent approach to schemas, immutability, and clear type contracts. This Skill provides guidelines to align on schema-first validation, derived types, branded types, and robust utility patterns to reduce runtime errors and improve maintainability.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Schema-first development: define runtime schemas and derive TypeScript types, ensuring alignment between validation and types.
- Immutability and type safety: patterns to avoid mutation, use readonly types, and safe data transformations.
- Branded types and utilities: create domain-safe identifiers and utility types to prevent misuses across APIs.
- Use cases: API boundary validation, internal data modeling, and test factories for reliable tests.
Quick Start
Create a zod schema for a User, derive the TypeScript User type from the schema, and validate data at a trust boundary.
