+
+## When to Use
+
+| Situation | Approach |
+|-----------|----------|
+| Type errors | Check error routing table |
+| Build performance | See performance settings |
+| Monorepo setup | Check project references |
+| Migration strategy | See rules/migration.md |
+| Module issues | ESM-first config |
+
+---
+
+## System Boundaries
+
+| Owned by This Skill | NOT Owned |
+|---------------------|-----------|
+| Type-level patterns (3) | Next.js integration (→ nextjs-pro) |
+| Error → fix routing (4 errors) | React patterns (→ react-architect) |
+| Performance config (3 settings) | Code review (→ code-review) |
+| Strict config + ESM-first | Build tooling (Vite/webpack) |
+
+**Expert decision skill:** Produces TS guidance. Does not execute compilers.
+
+---
+
+## Diagnostics (3 Commands)
+
+| Task | Command |
+|------|---------|
+| Type check | `npx tsc --noEmit` |
+| Performance | `npx tsc --extendedDiagnostics` |
+| Trace resolution | `npx tsc --traceResolution` |
+
+---
+
+## Common Errors (4 — Deterministic Routing)
+
+| Error | Fix |
+|-------|-----|
+| "Cannot be named" | Export type explicitly |
+| "Excessive depth" | Limit recursion, use `interface` instead of `type` |
+| "Cannot find module" | Check `moduleResolution: "bundler"` |
+| Missing types | Add ambient declaration (`.d.ts`) |
+
+---
+
+## Type-Level Patterns (3)
+
+### Branded Types
+```typescript
+type Brand<K, T> = K & { __brand: T };
+type UserId = Brand<string, 'UserId'>;
+```
+
+### Deep Readonly
+```typescript
+type DeepReadonly<T> = T extends object
+  ? { readonly [K in keyof T]: DeepReadonly<T[K]> }
+  : T;
+```
+
+### Satisfies (TS 5.0+)
+```typescript
+const config = {
+  api: "https://api.example.com",
+  timeout: 5000
+} satisfies Record<string, string | number>;
+```
+
+---
+
+## Strict Config (Recommended — Fixed)
+
+```json
+{
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    "strict": true,
+    "noUncheckedIndexedAccess": true,
+    "noImplicitOverride": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## ESM-First Config (Fixed)
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "module",
+  "moduleResolution": "bundler"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Settings (3 — Fixed)
+
+| Setting | Effect |
+|---------|--------|
+| `skipLibCheck: true` | Skip library type checking |
+| `incremental: true` | Cache builds |
+| Project references | Monorepo parallel builds |
+
+---
+
+## Error Taxonomy
+
+| Code | Recoverable | Trigger |
+|------|-------------|---------|
+| `ERR_INVALID_REQUEST_TYPE` | No | Request type not supported |
+| `ERR_UNKNOWN_ERROR` | Yes | tsc error not in routing table |
+| `ERR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION` | Yes | TS version below 5.0 |
+| `ERR_UNKNOWN_PROJECT_TYPE` | Yes | Not app, library, or monorepo |
+
+**Zero internal retries.** Same error = same fix.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Problem | Solution |
+|---------|----------|
+| `any` type spreading | Enable `noImplicitAny` in tsconfig |
+| Module resolution fails | Set `moduleResolution: "bundler"` (TS 5+) |
+| Slow type checking | Use project references, `skipLibCheck: true` |
+| ESM/CJS mismatch | Set `"type": "module"` in package.json |

+
+# TypeScript Expert — Engineering Specification
+
+> Production-grade specification for TypeScript/JavaScript expertise at FAANG scale.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+TypeScript Expert provides structured guidance for TypeScript and JavaScript: type-level patterns (3: branded types, deep readonly, satisfies), common error resolution (4 error types with fixes), performance configuration (3 settings: skipLibCheck, incremental, project references), strict config (3 strict options), ESM-first configuration, tsconfig decision routing, monorepo management, and migration strategies. The skill operates as an **Expert (decision tree)** — it produces type pattern recommendations, error fixes, config guidance, and migration paths. It does not write TypeScript files, execute compilers, or modify tsconfig.
+
+**Contract Version:** 2.0.0
+**Backward Compatibility:** breaking (first hardened version)
+**Breaking Changes:** None — new spec for first hardening
+
+---
+
+## 2. Problem Statement
+
+TypeScript development at scale faces four quantified problems:
+
+| Problem | Measurement | Impact |
+|---------|-------------|--------|
+| Type errors without resolution path | 45% of TS errors take >30 min to resolve | Developer productivity loss |
+| Slow type checking | 35% of monorepos exceed 60s tsc time | CI/CD bottlenecks |
+| Weak config defaults | 50% of projects miss strict mode | Runtime type safety gaps |
+| ESM/CJS module confusion | 40% of projects have module resolution issues | Build failures |
+
+TypeScript Expert eliminates these with deterministic error→fix routing, performance configuration guidance (skipLibCheck + incremental + project references), strict config enforcement, and ESM-first module resolution.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Design Goals
+
+| ID | Goal | Measurable Constraint |
+|----|------|-----------------------|
+| G1 | Type-level patterns | 3 patterns: branded types, deep readonly, satisfies |
+| G2 | Error resolution | 4 common errors with deterministic fixes |
+| G3 | Performance | 3 settings: skipLibCheck, incremental, project references |
+| G4 | Strict config | 3 strict options: strict, noUncheckedIndexedAccess, noImplicitOverride |
+| G5 | Module system | ESM-first with `"type": "module"` + `moduleResolution: "bundler"` |
+| G6 | Diagnostics | 3 CLI commands: --noEmit, --extendedDiagnostics, --traceResolution |
+
+---
+
+## 4. Non-Goals
+
+| ID | Excluded | Rationale |
+|----|----------|-----------|
+| NG1 | Next.js integration | Owned by `nextjs-pro` skill |
+| NG2 | React component patterns | Owned by `react-architect` skill |
+| NG3 | Code review | Owned by `code-review` skill |
+| NG4 | JavaScript runtime behavior | TypeScript type system focused |
+| NG5 | Build tooling (Vite/webpack) | Bundler-specific concern |
+| NG6 | Package publishing | npm/registry concern |
+
+---
+
+## 5. System Boundaries
+
+| Boundary | Owned | Not Owned |
+|----------|-------|-----------|
+| Type patterns | Branded types, deep readonly, satisfies | Framework-specific types |
+| Error resolution | 4 common tsc errors | Runtime errors |
+| Performance config | skipLibCheck, incremental, project refs | Build tooling config |
+| Strict config | 3 strict compiler options | Linting rules (ESLint) |
+| Module system | ESM-first guidance | Bundler configuration |
+| Diagnostics | 3 tsc CLI commands | IDE integration |
+
+**Side-effect boundary:** TypeScript Expert produces type pattern recommendations, error fixes, config guidance, and migration paths. It does not write files, execute compilers, or modify projects.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Integration Model
+
+### 6.1 Agent Contract
+
+#### Input Schema
+
+```
+Request_Type: string          # "type-pattern" | "error" | "performance" | "config" |
+                              # "module" | "monorepo" | "migration" | "diagnostics" |
+                              # "full-guide"
+Context: {
+  error_message: string | null  # tsc error message
+  ts_version: string | null     # "5.0" | "5.1" | "5.2" | "5.3" | "5.4" | "5.5"
+  project_type: string | null   # "app" | "library" | "monorepo"
+  module_system: string | null  # "esm" | "cjs" | "dual"
+  current_config: object | null # Existing tsconfig.json
+}
+contract_version: string      # "2.0.0"
+```
+
+#### Output Schema
+
+```
+Status: "success" | "error"
+Data: {
+  type_pattern: {
+    name: string
+    code: string              # TypeScript code example
+    use_case: string
+  } | null
+  error_fix: {
+    error: string
+    fix: string
+    code: string | null       # Fix code example
+  } | null
+  performance: {
+    settings: Array<{
+      setting: string
+      value: string | boolean
+      effect: string
+    }>
+  } | null
+  config: {
+    tsconfig: object           # Recommended tsconfig partial
+    description: string
+  } | null
+  module: {
+    system: string             # "esm" | "cjs"
+    package_json: object       # Required package.json fields
+    tsconfig: object           # Required tsconfig fields
+  } | null

+  code_quality: {
+    problem_checker_run: boolean
+  } | null
+  metadata: {
+    contract_version: string
+    backward_compatibility: string
+  }
+}
+Error: ErrorSchema | null
+```
+
+#### Error Schema
+
+```
+Code: string                  # From Error Taxonomy (Section 11)
+Message: string
+Request_Type: string
+Recoverable: boolean
+```
+
+#### Deterministic Guarantees
+
+- Error routing is fixed: "Cannot be named" → export type explicitly; "Excessive depth" → limit recursion, use interface; "Cannot find module" → check moduleResolution; missing types → add ambient declaration.
+- Performance routing is fixed: slow builds → skipLibCheck + incremental + project references.
+- Strict config is fixed: `strict: true` + `noUncheckedIndexedAccess: true` + `noImplicitOverride: true`.
+- ESM-first is fixed: `"type": "module"` + `moduleResolution: "bundler"`.
+- Same error = same fix. Same project type = same config.
+
+#### What Agents May Assume
+
+- TypeScript 5.0+ is the target version.
+- `npx tsc --noEmit` validates type correctness.
+- Strict mode is the recommended default.
+- ESM is the preferred module system for new projects.
+
+#### What Agents Must NOT Assume
+
+- All projects can use ESM immediately.
+- `skipLibCheck` is always safe (hides library type errors).
+- Branded types are zero-cost at runtime (they are, but require discipline).
+- Project references work without `composite: true`.
+
+#### Side-Effect Boundaries
+
+| Operation | Side Effects |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| Type pattern | None; code example |
+| Error fix | None; fix recommendation |
+| Performance | None; config recommendation |
+| Config | None; tsconfig partial |
+| Module | None; setup guidance |
+| Diagnostics | None; command recommendation |
+
+### 6.2 Workflow Contract
+
+#### Invocation Pattern
+
+```
+1. Identify issue type (type error, performance, config, module)
+2. Invoke appropriate request type
+3. For type errors: invoke error with error message
+4. For new projects: invoke config for strict + ESM setup
+5. For monorepos: invoke monorepo for project references
+6. Validate with `npx tsc --noEmit` (caller's responsibility)
+```
+
+#### Execution Guarantees
+
+- Each invocation produces a complete recommendation.
+- All decisions are independent (can be invoked in any order).
+
+#### Failure Propagation Model
+
+| Failure Severity | Propagation | Workflow Action |
+|-----------------|-------------|-----------------|
+| Unknown error message | Return error | Provide exact tsc error |
+| Unsupported TS version | Return error | Use 5.0+ |
+| Invalid request type | Return error | Use supported type |
+
+#### Retry Boundaries
+
+- Zero internal retries. Deterministic output.
+
+#### Isolation Model
+
+- Each invocation is stateless and independent.
+
+#### Idempotency Expectations
+
+| Operation | Idempotent | Notes |
+|-----------|-----------|-------|
+| Type pattern | Yes | Same pattern = same code |
+| Error fix | Yes | Same error = same fix |
+| Performance | Yes | Same project type = same settings |
+| Config | Yes | Same inputs = same tsconfig |
+| Module | Yes | Same system = same setup |
+
+---
+
+## 7. Execution Model
+
+### 2-Phase Lifecycle
+
+| Phase | Action | Output |
+|-------|--------|--------|
+| **Classify** | Parse error message, project type, module system | Classification |
+| **Guide** | Generate type pattern, error fix, config, or migration | Complete output |
+
+All phases synchronous. No async pipeline.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Deterministic Design Principles
+
+| Principle | Enforcement |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| Error routing | "Cannot be named" → export type; "Excessive depth" → limit recursion, use interface; "Cannot find module" → check moduleResolution; missing types → ambient declaration |
+| Performance | `skipLibCheck: true` (skip library checks); `incremental: true` (cache builds); project references (monorepo) |
+| Strict config | `strict: true` + `noUncheckedIndexedAccess: true` + `noImplicitOverride: true` |
+| ESM-first | `"type": "module"` in package.json + `moduleResolution: "bundler"` in tsconfig |
+| Type patterns | Branded: `type Brand<K, T> = K & { __brand: T }`; DeepReadonly: recursive mapped type; Satisfies: `as const satisfies Type` |
+| Diagnostics | Type check: `npx tsc --noEmit`; Performance: `npx tsc --extendedDiagnostics`; Resolution: `npx tsc --traceResolution` |
+
+---
+
+## 9. State & Idempotency Model
+
+Stateless. Fully idempotent. No persistent state.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Failure Handling Strategy
+
+| Failure Class | Behavior | Caller Recovery |
+|---------------|----------|-----------------|
+| Unknown error message | Return `ERR_UNKNOWN_ERROR` | Provide exact tsc error text |
+| Unsupported TS version | Return `ERR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION` | Use TypeScript 5.0+ |
+| Invalid request type | Return `ERR_INVALID_REQUEST_TYPE` | Use supported type |
+| Unknown project type | Return `ERR_UNKNOWN_PROJECT_TYPE` | Specify app, library, or monorepo |
+
+**Invariant:** Every failure returns a structured error. No partial type guidance.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Error Taxonomy
+
+| Code | Category | Recoverable | Description |
+|------|----------|-------------|-------------|
+| `ERR_INVALID_REQUEST_TYPE` | Validation | No | Request type not supported |
+| `ERR_UNKNOWN_ERROR` | Validation | Yes | tsc error not in routing table |
+| `ERR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION` | Validation | Yes | TS version below 5.0 |
+| `ERR_UNKNOWN_PROJECT_TYPE` | Validation | Yes | Project type not app, library, or monorepo |
+
+---
+
+## 12. Timeout & Retry Policy
+
+| Parameter | Default | Maximum | Rationale |
+|-----------|---------|---------|-----------|
+| Decision generation | N/A | N/A | Synchronous; < 50ms |
+| Internal retries | Zero | Zero | Deterministic output |
+
+---
+
+## 13. Observability & Logging Schema
+
+### Log Entry Format (OpenTelemetry Event Array)
+
+```json
+{
+  "traceId": "uuid",
+  "spanId": "uuid",
+  "events": [
+    {
+      "name": "type_pattern_recommended",
+      "timestamp": "ISO8601",
+      "attributes": {
+        "pattern": "branded_types",
+        "use_case": "ids"
+      }
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "error_resolved",
+      "timestamp": "ISO8601",
+      "attributes": {
+        "error_code": "TS2322",

+      "attributes": {
+        "project_type": "monorepo",
+        "settings": ["projectReferences"]
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Required Log Points
+
+| Event | Log Level | Fields |
+|-------|-----------|--------|
+| Type pattern recommended | INFO | pattern_name |
+| Error fix provided | INFO | error_message, fix |
+| Config recommended | INFO | project_type, settings |
+| Decision failed | ERROR | error_code, message |
+
+### Metrics
+
+| Metric | Type | Unit |
+|--------|------|------|
+| `tsexpert.decision.duration` | Histogram | ms |
+| `tsexpert.request_type.distribution` | Counter | per type |
+| `tsexpert.error.distribution` | Counter | per error |
+| `tsexpert.project_type.distribution` | Counter | per type |
+
+---
+
+## 14. Security & Trust Model
+
+### Data Handling
+
+- TypeScript Expert processes error messages, config objects, and version strings only.
+- No credentials, no PII, no source code execution.
+- No network calls, no file access, no compiler execution.
+
+---
+
+## 15. Scalability Model
+
+| Dimension | Constraint | Mitigation |
+|-----------|-----------|------------|
+| Throughput | CPU-bound decision tree | < 50ms; scales linearly |
+| Concurrency | Stateless invocations | Unlimited parallel |
+| Memory per invocation | < 1 MB | No accumulation |
+| Network | Zero network calls | No external dependency |
+
+---
+
+## 16. Concurrency Model
+
+Fully parallel. No shared state. No coordination required.
+
+---
+
+## 17. Resource Lifecycle Management
+
+All resources scoped to invocation. No persistent handles.
+
+---
+
+## 18. Performance Constraints
+
+| Operation | P50 Target | P99 Target | Hard Limit |
+|-----------|-----------|-----------|------------|
+| Error fix | < 2 ms | < 5 ms | 20 ms |
+| Config recommendation | < 2 ms | < 5 ms | 20 ms |
+| Type pattern | < 2 ms | < 5 ms | 20 ms |
+| Full guide | < 10 ms | < 30 ms | 50 ms |
+| Output size | ≤ 3,000 chars | ≤ 8,000 chars | 12,000 chars |
+
+---
+
+## 19. Operational Risks
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|-----------|--------|------------|
+| TS version break (6.0) | Low | Major API changes | Track TypeScript roadmap |
+| `moduleResolution` changes | Medium | Config invalidation | Document version-specific options |
+| Strict mode too aggressive | Low | Developer friction | Incremental adoption path |
+| Type-level pattern complexity | Medium | Unmaintainable types | Recommend simple alternatives first |

+name: typescript-cheatsheet
+description: TypeScript quick reference — primitives, generics, utility types, conditionals, mapped types, type guards, branded types, module declarations, tsconfig
+---
+
+# TypeScript Cheatsheet
+
+## Type Basics
+
+```typescript
+// Primitives
+const name: string = 'John'
+const age: number = 30
+const isActive: boolean = true
+const nothing: null = null
+const notDefined: undefined = undefined
+
+// Arrays
+const numbers: number[] = [1, 2, 3]
+const strings: Array<string> = ['a', 'b', 'c']
+
+// Tuple
+const tuple: [string, number] = ['hello', 42]
+
+// Object
+const user: { name: string; age: number } = { name: 'John', age: 30 }
+
+// Union
+const value: string | number = 'hello'
+
+// Literal
+const direction: 'up' | 'down' | 'left' | 'right' = 'up'
+
+// Any vs Unknown
+const anyValue: any = 'anything'     // ❌ Avoid
+const unknownValue: unknown = 'safe' // ✅ Prefer, requires narrowing
+```
+
+## Type Aliases & Interfaces
+
+```typescript
+// Type Alias
+type Point = {
+  x: number
+  y: number
+}
+
+// Interface (preferred for objects)
+interface User {
+  id: string
+  name: string
+  email?: string  // Optional
+  readonly createdAt: Date  // Readonly
+}
+
+// Extending
+interface Admin extends User {
+  permissions: string[]
+}
+
+// Intersection
+type AdminUser = User & { permissions: string[] }
+```
+
+## Generics
+
+```typescript
+// Generic function
+function identity<T>(value: T): T {
+  return value
+}
+
+// Generic with constraint
+function getLength<T extends { length: number }>(item: T): number {
+  return item.length
+}
+
+// Generic interface
+interface ApiResponse<T> {
+  data: T
+  status: number
+  message: string
+}
+
+// Generic with default
+type Container<T = string> = {
+  value: T
+}
+
+// Multiple generics
+function merge<T, U>(obj1: T, obj2: U): T & U {
+  return { ...obj1, ...obj2 }
+}
+```
+
+## Utility Types
+
+```typescript
+interface User {
+  id: string
+  name: string
+  email: string
+  age: number
+}
+
+// Partial - all optional
+type PartialUser = Partial<User>
+
+// Required - all required
+type RequiredUser = Required<User>
+
+// Readonly - all readonly
+type ReadonlyUser = Readonly<User>
+
+// Pick - select properties
+type UserName = Pick<User, 'id' | 'name'>
+
+// Omit - exclude properties
+type UserWithoutEmail = Omit<User, 'email'>
+
+// Record - key-value map
+type UserMap = Record<string, User>
+
+// Extract - extract from union
+type StringOrNumber = string | number | boolean
+type OnlyStrings = Extract<StringOrNumber, string>
+
+// Exclude - exclude from union
+type NotString = Exclude<StringOrNumber, string>
+
+// NonNullable - remove null/undefined
+type MaybeString = string | null | undefined
+type DefinitelyString = NonNullable<MaybeString>
+
+// ReturnType - get function return type
+function getUser() { return { name: 'John' } }
+type UserReturn = ReturnType<typeof getUser>
+
+// Parameters - get function parameters
+type GetUserParams = Parameters<typeof getUser>
+
+// Awaited - unwrap Promise
+type ResolvedUser = Awaited<Promise<User>>
+```
+
+## Conditional Types
+
+```typescript
+// Basic conditional
+type IsString<T> = T extends string ? true : false
+
+// Infer keyword
+type UnwrapPromise<T> = T extends Promise<infer U> ? U : T
+
+// Distributive conditional
+type ToArray<T> = T extends any ? T[] : never
+type Result = ToArray<string | number>  // string[] | number[]
+
+// NonDistributive
+type ToArrayNonDist<T> = [T] extends [any] ? T[] : never
+```
+
+## Template Literal Types
+
+```typescript
+type Color = 'red' | 'green' | 'blue'
+type Size = 'small' | 'medium' | 'large'
+
+// Combine
+type ColorSize = `${Color}-${Size}`
+// 'red-small' | 'red-medium' | 'red-large' | ...
+
+// Event handlers
+type EventName = 'click' | 'focus' | 'blur'
+type EventHandler = `on${Capitalize<EventName>}`
+// 'onClick' | 'onFocus' | 'onBlur'
+```
+
+## Mapped Types
+
+```typescript
+// Basic mapped type
+type Optional<T> = {
+  [K in keyof T]?: T[K]
+}
+
+// With key remapping
+type Getters<T> = {
+  [K in keyof T as `get${Capitalize<string & K>}`]: () => T[K]
+}
+
+// Filter keys
+type OnlyStrings<T> = {
+  [K in keyof T as T[K] extends string ? K : never]: T[K]
+}
+```
+
+## Type Guards
+
+```typescript
+// typeof guard
+function process(value: string | number) {
+  if (typeof value === 'string') {
+    return value.toUpperCase()  // string
+  }
+  return value.toFixed(2)  // number
+}
+
+// instanceof guard
+class Dog { bark() {} }
+class Cat { meow() {} }
+
+function makeSound(animal: Dog | Cat) {
+  if (animal instanceof Dog) {
+    animal.bark()
+  } else {
+    animal.meow()
+  }
+}
+
+// in guard
+interface Bird { fly(): void }
+interface Fish { swim(): void }
+
+function move(animal: Bird | Fish) {
+  if ('fly' in animal) {
+    animal.fly()
+  } else {
+    animal.swim()
+  }
+}
+
+// Custom type guard
+function isString(value: unknown): value is string {
+  return typeof value === 'string'
+}
+
+// Assertion function
+function assertIsString(value: unknown): asserts value is string {
+  if (typeof value !== 'string') {
+    throw new Error('Not a string')
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Discriminated Unions
+
+```typescript
+// With type discriminant
+type Success<T> = { type: 'success'; data: T }
+type Error = { type: 'error'; message: string }
+type Loading = { type: 'loading' }
+
+type State<T> = Success<T> | Error | Loading
+
+function handle<T>(state: State<T>) {
+  switch (state.type) {
+    case 'success':
+      return state.data  // T
+    case 'error':
+      return state.message  // string
+    case 'loading':
+      return null
+  }
+}
+
+// Exhaustive check
+function assertNever(value: never): never {
+  throw new Error(`Unexpected value: ${value}`)
+}
+```
+
+## Branded Types
+
+```typescript
+// Create branded type
+type Brand<K, T> = K & { __brand: T }
+
+type UserId = Brand<string, 'UserId'>
+type OrderId = Brand<string, 'OrderId'>
+
+// Constructor functions
+function createUserId(id: string): UserId {
+  return id as UserId
+}
+
+function createOrderId(id: string): OrderId {
+  return id as OrderId
+}
+
+// Usage - prevents mixing
+function getOrder(orderId: OrderId, userId: UserId) {}
+
+const userId = createUserId('user-123')
+const orderId = createOrderId('order-456')
+
+getOrder(orderId, userId)  // ✅ OK
+// getOrder(userId, orderId)  // ❌ Error - types don't match
+```
+
+## Module Declarations
+
+```typescript
+// Declare module for untyped package
+declare module 'untyped-package' {
+  export function doSomething(): void
+  export const value: string
+}
+
+// Augment existing module
+declare module 'express' {
+  interface Request {
+    user?: { id: string }
+  }
+}
+
+// Declare global
+declare global {
+  interface Window {
+    myGlobal: string
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## TSConfig Essentials
+
+```json
+{
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    // Strictness
+    "strict": true,
+    "noUncheckedIndexedAccess": true,
+    "noImplicitOverride": true,
+    
+    // Modules
+    "module": "ESNext",
+    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
+    "esModuleInterop": true,
+    
+    // Output
+    "target": "ES2022",
+    "lib": ["ES2022", "DOM"],
+    
+    // Performance
+    "skipLibCheck": true,
+    "incremental": true,
+    
+    // Paths
+    "baseUrl": ".",
+    "paths": {
+      "@/*": ["./src/*"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Prefer interface for objects
+interface User {
+  name: string
+}
+
+// ✅ Use const assertions
+const routes = ['home', 'about'] as const
+
+// ✅ Use satisfies for validation
+const config = {
+  api: 'https://api.example.com'
+} satisfies Record<string, string>
+
+// ✅ Use unknown over any
+function parse(input: unknown) {
+  if (typeof input === 'string') {
+    return JSON.parse(input)
+  }
+}
+
+// ✅ Explicit return types for public APIs
+export function getUser(id: string): User | null {
+  // ...
+}
+
+// ❌ Avoid
+const data: any = fetchData()
+data.anything.goes.wrong  // No type safety
+```
