What problem does it solve?

Frontend developers often struggle to keep UI logic safe from runtime data drift. This skill consolidates patterns and tooling to enforce strict typing, runtime validation, and reliable data handling across React/TypeScript apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Derive TypeScript types directly from Zod schemas to ensure alignment between data schemas and types.
• Use discriminated unions, type guards, and branded types to prevent runtime/misuse errors in complex state and API boundaries.
• Optimize performance with precompiled schemas and selective validation strategies in high-frequency paths.

Quick Start

• Define Zod schemas for API responses and derive TS types with z.infer.
• Validate inputs and outputs at boundary points using safeParse and robust error handling.
• Gradually adopt type guards and branded types to prevent type drift across the app.
