What problem does it solve?
This skill addresses the challenge of maintaining consistent environment variable documentation and synchronization across a multi-package repo. It helps ensure env.ts schemas include .describe() calls and that .env.example stays in sync, reducing CI failures and configuration drift.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Centralized guidance for adding and updating environment variables
- CI-friendly checks to enforce .describe() usage and alignment with .env.example
- Clear categorization and descriptive comments to improve maintainability and onboarding
Quick Start
Use this skill to add a new environment variable by updating the relevant env.ts with a descriptive .describe(), add the variable to the .env.example with an appropriate comment, and verify with the check:env-descriptions script in CI.
