Is this skill compatible with TypeScript projects?

The reference architecture is designed specifically for TypeScript, providing full type safety for clients, configurations, and API handlers.

Does it include error handling for the Perplexity API?

Yes, it implements a custom error boundary and transformation layer to convert SDK errors into retryable application-level exceptions.

What is the benefit of using this Perplexity architecture?

It provides a decoupled, layered structure that improves maintainability, testability, and scalability while preventing circular dependencies and spaghetti code.

How does this architecture handle API performance?

It includes a service facade with a built-in caching layer (e.g., Redis) and a monitoring wrapper to track latency and optimize request flow.
