What tools does this skill require?

This skill is optimized for projects using Vitest as the test runner and the inferred-types library for robust, readable type assertions.

Does this support TDD workflows?

Yes, it provides a specific decision framework to help you determine which tests to write first, allowing for a type-first development approach.

Why should I test types and runtime logic in the same block?

Keeping them together ensures that any change in runtime behavior is immediately reflected in the type system, preventing type tests from drifting or becoming stale.

How does this differ from standard Vitest testing?

While Vitest handles runtime behavior, this skill adds a specialized layer for testing TypeScript's type system at design-time, ensuring generics and utility types resolve as expected.

Is this skill only useful for library authors?

No, it is highly beneficial for any TypeScript project with complex business logic, generic functions, or strict type-safety requirements where type accuracy is critical.

Seguridad y Pruebas

Masters professional TypeScript testing workflows by integrating runtime behavior verification with deep type-level correctness assertions.

Acerca de

This skill provides comprehensive expertise for building robust TypeScript applications through a dual-testing approach. It guides developers in implementing runtime tests using Vitest while simultaneously validating complex type logic using specialized type-testing utilities. By enforcing a standardized 'type cases' pattern, it ensures that type utilities, generic constraints, and inferred return types are as well-tested as the execution logic, preventing regressions in both the code's behavior and the overall developer experience.
