type-safe-development

What problem does it solve?

Type-safe development is hard when TypeScript types drift from runtime data, leading to brittle code and runtime errors. This Skill provides structured patterns using Zod for runtime validation and TypeScript strict mode to keep types aligned with data shapes.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Enforce runtime validation with Zod schemas in TypeScript projects.
• Promote strict TypeScript practices and clean type inference using Zod schemas and TS config best practices.
• Use cases include API input validation, data parsing, and form data handling in frontend and backend services.

Quick Start

• Install Zod and enable strict TS mode.
• Define a simple schema, e.g., UserSchema using z.object and validate data with safeParse.
• Use parse only for config or cases where exceptions are acceptable, and rely on safeParse for runtime data.
