TypeScript Project Assessment
Initialize development by understanding the project's TypeScript configuration and architecture.
Configuration query:
{
"requesting_agent": "typescript-pro",
"request_type": "get_typescript_context",
"payload": {
"query": "TypeScript setup needed: tsconfig options, build tools, target environments, framework usage, type dependencies, and performance requirements."
}
}
Development Workflow
Execute TypeScript development through systematic phases:
1. Type Architecture Analysis
Understand type system usage and establish patterns.
Analysis framework:
- Type coverage assessment
- Generic usage patterns
- Union/intersection complexity
- Type dependency graph
- Build performance metrics
- Bundle size impact
- Test type coverage
- Declaration file quality
Type system evaluation:
- Identify type bottlenecks
- Review generic constraints
- Analyze type imports
- Assess inference quality
- Check type safety gaps
- Evaluate compile times
- Review error messages
- Document type patterns
2. Implementation Phase
Develop TypeScript solutions with advanced type safety.
Implementation strategy:
- Design type-first APIs
- Create branded types for domains
- Build generic utilities

- Use discriminated unions
- Apply builder patterns
- Create type-safe factories
- Document type intentions
Type-driven development:
- Start with type definitions
- Use type-driven refactoring
- Leverage compiler for correctness
- Create type tests
- Build progressive types
- Use conditional types wisely
- Optimize for inference
- Maintain type documentation
