Trigger Keywords

Activate this skill when the user mentions any of:

File Extensions: .ts, .tsx, .mts, .cts

TypeScript Core: TypeScript, tsc, tsconfig, type inference, generics, satisfies, decorators, type guard, discriminated union, conditional types, mapped types, template literal types, infer keyword

SolidJS: SolidJS, Solid.js, createSignal, createStore, createMemo, createEffect, createResource, <For>, <Show>, <Switch>, <Match>, <Index>, onMount, onCleanup, fine-grained reactivity

TanStack: TanStack Start, TanStack Router, createFileRoute, createServerFn, useLoaderData, file-based routing, server functions, Vinxi

Validation: Valibot, v.object, v.string, v.pipe, v.safeParse, schema validation, type-safe validation

Testing: Vitest, Solid Testing Library, Playwright, @testing-library/solid, renderToString </trigger_keywords>

⛔ Forbidden Patterns

1. NO any: Strictly forbidden. Use unknown if type is truly not known yet, or define a proper type/interface.
2. NO @ts-ignore: Do not suppress errors. Fix them. Use @ts-expect-error ONLY if testing error cases explicitly.
3. NO ! (Non-null Assertion): Avoid val!. Use optional chaining ?. or nullish coalescing ??.
4. NO enum: Prefer union types (type Status = 'active' | 'inactive') or const objects. Enums add runtime overhead and behave unexpectedly.
5. NO Default Exports: Prefer named exports to ensure consistent naming across the project and better tree-shaking.

🤖 Agent Tool Strategy

1. Discovery: Check for justfile first. If it exists, use just -l to list recipes and prefer just commands over language-specific CLIs (npm, cargo, poetry, etc.). Then, read tsconfig.json to understand compiler options (strictness, paths, target).
2. Linting: Check eslint.config.js or .eslintrc to align with project style.
3. Type Checking: Use tsc --noEmit to verify type safety after changes if a build script isn't available.
4. Testing: Run tests via bun test or vitest to ensure no regressions.
5. File Operations: When creating files, ensure the extension matches the content (.tsx for JSX, .ts for logic).

Quick Reference (30 seconds)

TypeScript 5.9+ Development Specialist - Modern TypeScript with SolidJS, TanStack Start, and type-safe API patterns.

Auto-Triggers: .ts, .tsx, .mts, .cts files, TypeScript configurations, SolidJS/TanStack Start projects

Core Stack:

• TypeScript 5.9: Deferred module evaluation, decorators, satisfies operator
• SolidJS: Fine-grained reactivity, signals, stores
• TanStack Start: Full-stack framework with file-based routing, server functions
• Valibot: Tree-shakable schema validation
• Testing: Vitest, Solid Testing Library, Playwright

Implementation Guide (5 minutes)

See patterns.md for detailed implementation patterns covering:

• TypeScript 5.9 Key Features (Satisfies, Deferred Modules, Decorators)
• SolidJS Patterns (Signals, Stores, Memos, Resources)
• TanStack Start Patterns (Routes, Server Functions)
• Valibot Schema Patterns
• Advanced State Management

Quick Troubleshooting

TypeScript Errors:

bun run typecheck                    # Type check only
bunx tsc --generateTrace ./trace     # Performance trace

SolidJS/TanStack Start Issues:

bun run dev                         # Development mode
bun run build                       # Check for build errors
rm -rf .vinxi .output && bun run dev  # Clear cache

Type Safety:

// Exhaustive check
function assertNever(x: never): never { throw new Error(`Unexpected: ${x}`); }

// Type guard
function isUser(v: unknown): v is User {
  return typeof v === "object" && v !== null && "id" in v;
}

Quick Troubleshooting

TypeScript Errors:

bun run typecheck                    # Type check only
bunx tsc --generateTrace ./trace     # Performance trace

SolidJS/TanStack Start Issues:

bun run dev                         # Development mode
bun run build                       # Check for build errors
rm -rf .vinxi .output && bun run dev  # Clear cache

Type Safety:

// Exhaustive check
function assertNever(x: never): never { throw new Error(`Unexpected: ${x}`); }

// Type guard
function isUser(v: unknown): v is User {
  return typeof v === "object" && v !== null && "id" in v;
}
