What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a blueprint for building robust TypeScript services by separating construction from lifecycle management, enabling explicit dependency wiring and improved testability.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Separation of construction and lifecycle management to allow isolated testing and controlled startup and shutdown.
• Dependency injection at the application entry point to wire config, databases, servers, and services deterministically.
• Hierarchical configuration management with default and environment-specific files to ensure consistent environments.
• Clear patterns for startup order and graceful shutdown across application layers.

Quick Start

Instantiate the application with its dependencies in the entry point and call start() to boot the service.
