SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Backend projects in TypeScript/Node.js often suffer from inconsistent structures, unchecked errors, and brittle codebases that hinder maintainability and scalability. This skill provides a disciplined framework based on Batuta conventions to enforce strict mode, safe error handling, and a coherent scope-based organization.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces strict TypeScript configuration (strict mode, NodeNext module resolution) for reliable builds.
  • Implements the Result pattern for typed, explicit error handling across services.
  • Establishes a Scope Rule-guided project layout to keep types, services, routes and core utilities organized by feature.
  • Validates environment variables at startup via Zod to fail fast on misconfigurations.
  • Encourages explicit barrel exports and multi-tenant awareness in data access.

Quick Start

Configure a new TypeScript backend project with strict mode, Result-based error handling, and a feature-scoped structure following Batuta conventions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce strict TypeScript configuration in a Node.js backend project?

To enforce strict TypeScript configuration in a Node.js backend, this skill applies strict mode and NodeNext module resolution in your tsconfig. This ensures reliable builds and prevents unchecked type errors during development.

What is the Result pattern for error handling in TypeScript backends?

The Result pattern for TypeScript backends provides typed, explicit error handling across services. Instead of throwing exceptions, functions return a Result object that forces callers to handle both success and failure states safely.

How do I validate environment variables at startup using Zod in Node.js?

To validate environment variables at startup using Zod in Node.js, this skill implements schema-based validation to fail fast on misconfigurations. This prevents runtime errors caused by missing or malformed environment data.

How do I organize a Node.js backend project by feature scopes?

To organize a Node.js backend project by feature scopes, this skill enforces a scope-based project layout. This structure keeps types, services, routes, and core utilities grouped by feature, improving maintainability and scalability.

Can I use explicit barrel exports with scoped feature organization in TypeScript?

Yes, you can use explicit barrel exports with scoped feature organization in TypeScript. This skill encourages explicit exports to maintain a clean module boundary, ensuring that scoped types and services are accessed predictably across the backend.

Does this backend convention approach require any external dependencies to start?

No external dependencies are required to start applying these backend conventions. The skill relies on standard TypeScript and Node.js capabilities, utilizing Zod for environment validation and establishing strict compiler settings without additional libraries.
