- description: Data validation and schema design mastery. Zod, Yup, Joi, Valibot, and Pydantic schema design, runtime type checking, API boundary validation, form validation patterns, DTO design, schema composition, error message formatting, schema evolution strategies, and coercion rules. Use when validating user input, API payloads, environment config, or any data crossing a trust boundary.

10
- ## Hallucination Traps (Read First)
11
- - ❌ Using `z.any()` or `z.unknown()` as a lazy escape hatch -> ✅ Always define the actual shape; `any` defeats the purpose of validation
12
- - ❌ Validating on the client but not on the server -> ✅ Server validation is NOT optional — client validation is UX, server validation is security
13
- - Throwing raw Zod errors to the client -> ✅ Format errors into user-friendly messages with `.flatten()` or `.format()`

21
- ## The Golden Rule
22
-
23
- ```
24
- Every trust boundary gets a schema.
25
- No exceptions. No shortcuts. No "I'll add validation later."
26
-
27
- Trust Boundaries:
28
- API request bodies (user server)
29
- URL params / query strings (user server)
30
- ✅ Environment variables (env → app)
31
- ✅ External API responses (3rd party → app)
32
- ✅ Database query results (DB → app, if untyped)
33
- ✅ File uploads (user → server)
34
- ✅ WebSocket messages (client → server)
35
- ✅ Form inputs (user → UI)
36
- ```
37
-

- ## Zod (Recommended — TypeScript)
41
-
42
- ### Basic Schemas
43
-
44
- ```typescript
45
- import { z } from "zod";
46
-
47
- // Primitives with constraints
48
- const Email = z.string().email().toLowerCase().trim();
49
- const Age = z.number().int().min(0).max(150);
50
- const Username = z.string().min(3).max(30).regex(/^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$/);
51
- const URL = z.string().url().startsWith("https://");
52
-
53
- // Object schema
54
- const CreateUserSchema = z.object({
55
- name: z.string().min(2).max(100),
56
- email: Email,
57
- age: Age.optional(),
58
- role: z.enum(["admin", "editor", "viewer"]).default("viewer"),
59
- metadata: z.record(z.string(), z.unknown()).optional(),
60
- });
61
-
62
- // ✅ Infer TypeScript types from schemas (single source of truth)
63
- type CreateUserInput = z.infer<typeof CreateUserSchema>;
64
- // → { name: string; email: string; age?: number; role: "admin" | "editor" | "viewer"; ... }
65
- ```
66
-
67
- ### Composition & Reuse
68
-
69
- ```typescript
70
- // ✅ Base schema + extend for variants
71
- const BaseUserSchema = z.object({
72
- name: z.string().min(2),
73
- email: z.string().email(),
74
- });
75
-
76
- const CreateUserSchema = BaseUserSchema.extend({
77
- password: z.string().min(8),
78
- confirmPassword: z.string(),
79
- }).refine((data) => data.password === data.confirmPassword, {
80
- message: "Passwords don't match",
81
- path: ["confirmPassword"],
82
- });
83
-
84
- const UpdateUserSchema = BaseUserSchema.partial(); // all fields optional
85
-
86
- // ✅ Pick / Omit
87
- const LoginSchema = BaseUserSchema.pick({ email: true }).extend({
88
- password: z.string(),
89
- });
90
-
91
- // ✅ Merge two schemas
92
- const FullProfileSchema = BaseUserSchema.merge(AddressSchema);
93
- ```
94
-
95
- ### API Boundary Validation
96
-
97
- ```typescript
98
- // ✅ Server-side: validate at the boundary, type-safe downstream
99
- import { z } from "zod";
100
-
101
- // Define once, use everywhere
102
- const QuerySchema = z.object({
103
- page: z.coerce.number().int().min(1).default(1),
104
- limit: z.coerce.number().int().min(1).max(100).default(20),
105
- sort: z.enum(["created", "updated", "name"]).default("created"),
106
- order: z.enum(["asc", "desc"]).default("desc"),
107
- search: z.string().max(200).optional(),
108
- });
109
-
110
- // Express middleware
111
- function validate<T extends z.ZodType>(schema: T) {
112
- return (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
113
- const result = schema.safeParse(req.body);
114
- if (!result.success) {
115
- return res.status(400).json({
116
- error: "Validation failed",
117
- issues: result.error.flatten().fieldErrors,
118
- });
119
- }
120
- req.body = result.data; // ✅ Validated + coerced data replaces raw body
121
- next();
122
- };
123
- }
124
-

266
- ## Schema Anti-Patterns
267
-
268
- ```
269
- ❌ z.any() / z.unknown() as a lazy escape — defeats the purpose
270
- ❌ Validating on client only — server is the security boundary
271
- ❌ Different schemas for same entity on client vs server — drift guaranteed
272
- ❌ Coercing without documenting — z.coerce.number() silently converts "abc" → NaN
273
- ❌ Skipping .safeParse() in user-facing code — .parse() throws, bad UX
274
- ❌ Giant monolithic schemas — use .extend(), .pick(), .merge() for composition
275
- ❌ Not validating 3rd-party API responses — "they'll always return what docs say"

284
-
285
- AI coding assistants often fall into specific bad habits when dealing with this domain. These are strictly forbidden:
286
-
287
- 1. **Over-engineering:** Proposing complex abstractions or distributed systems when a simpler approach suffices.
288
- 2. **Hallucinated Libraries/Methods:** Using non-existent methods or packages. Always `// VERIFY` or check `package.json` / `requirements.txt`.
289
- 3. **Skipping Edge Cases:** Writing the "happy path" and ignoring error handling, timeouts, or data validation.
290
- 4. **Context Amnesia:** Forgetting the user's constraints and offering generic advice instead of tailored solutions.
291
- 5. **Silent Degradation:** Catching and suppressing errors without logging or re-raising.
292
-
293
- ---
294
-
295
-
296
-
297
- **Slash command: `/review` or `/tribunal-full`**
298
- **Active reviewers: `logic-reviewer` · `security-auditor`**
299
-
300
- ### ❌ Forbidden AI Tropes
301
-
302
- 1. **Blind Assumptions:** Never make an assumption without documenting it clearly with `// VERIFY: [reason]`.
303
- 2. **Silent Degradation:** Catching and suppressing errors without logging or handling.
304
- 3. **Context Amnesia:** Forgetting the user's constraints and offering generic advice instead of tailored solutions.
305
-
306
-
307
-
308
- Review these questions before confirming output:
309
- ```
310
- ✅ Did I rely ONLY on real, verified tools and methods?
311
- ✅ Is this solution appropriately scoped to the user's constraints?
312
- ✅ Did I handle potential failure modes and edge cases?
313
- ✅ Have I avoided generic boilerplate that doesn't add value?
314
- ```
315
-
316
- ### 🛑 Verification-Before-Completion (VBC) Protocol
317
-
318
- **CRITICAL:** You must follow a strict "evidence-based closeout" state machine.
319
- - ❌ **Forbidden:** Declaring a task complete because the output "looks correct."
320
- - ✅ **Required:** You are explicitly forbidden from finalizing any task without providing **concrete evidence** (terminal output, passing tests, compile success, or equivalent proof) that your output works as intended.
321
-
322
-
323
- ## Pre-Flight Checklist
324
- - [ ] Have I reviewed the user's specific constraints and requests?
325
- - [ ] Have I checked the environment for relevant existing implementations?
326
-
327
- ## VBC Protocol (Verification-Before-Completion)
328
- You MUST verify existing code signatures and variables before attempting to modify or call them. No hallucination is permitted.

13
+ ## Hallucination Traps (Read First)
14
+
15
+ - ❌ Using `z.any()` or `z.unknown()` as a lazy escape hatch -> ✅ Always define the actual shape; `any` defeats the purpose of validation
16
+ - ❌ Validating on the client but not on the server -> ✅ Server validation is NOT optional — client validation is UX, server validation is security
17
+ - Throwing raw Zod errors to the client -> ✅ Format errors into user-friendly messages with `.flatten()` or `.format()`
18

21
+ # Data Validation & Schemas — Trust No Input
22
+
23
+ ---
24
+
25
+ ## The Golden Rule
26
+
27
+ ```
28
+ Every trust boundary gets a schema.
29
+ No exceptions. No shortcuts. No "I'll add validation later."
329
30
 
31
+ Trust Boundaries:
32
+ ✅ API request bodies (user → server)
33
+ ✅ URL params / query strings (user → server)
34
+ ✅ Environment variables (env → app)
35
+ ✅ External API responses (3rd party → app)
36
+ ✅ Database query results (DB → app, if untyped)
37
+ ✅ File uploads (user → server)
38
+ ✅ WebSocket messages (client → server)
39
+ ✅ Form inputs (user → UI)
40
+ ```
41
+

43
+
44
+ ## Zod (Recommended — TypeScript)
45
+
46
+ ### Basic Schemas
47
+
48
+ ```typescript
49
+ import { z } from "zod";
50
+
51
+ // Primitives with constraints
52
+ const Email = z.string().email().toLowerCase().trim();
53
+ const Age = z.number().int().min(0).max(150);
54
+ const Username = z
55
+ .string()
56
+ .min(3)
57
+ .max(30)
58
+ .regex(/^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$/);
59
+ const URL = z.string().url().startsWith("https://");
60
+
61
+ // Object schema
62
+ const CreateUserSchema = z.object({
63
+ name: z.string().min(2).max(100),
64
+ email: Email,
65
+ age: Age.optional(),
66
+ role: z.enum(["admin", "editor", "viewer"]).default("viewer"),
67
+ metadata: z.record(z.string(), z.unknown()).optional(),
68
+ });
69
+
70
+ // ✅ Infer TypeScript types from schemas (single source of truth)
71
+ type CreateUserInput = z.infer<typeof CreateUserSchema>;
72
+ // → { name: string; email: string; age?: number; role: "admin" | "editor" | "viewer"; ... }
73
+ ```
74
+
75
+ ### Composition & Reuse
76
+
77
+ ```typescript
78
+ // ✅ Base schema + extend for variants
79
+ const BaseUserSchema = z.object({
80
+ name: z.string().min(2),
81
+ email: z.string().email(),
82
+ });
83
+
84
+ const CreateUserSchema = BaseUserSchema.extend({
85
+ password: z.string().min(8),
86
+ confirmPassword: z.string(),
87
+ }).refine((data) => data.password === data.confirmPassword, {
88
+ message: "Passwords don't match",
89
+ path: ["confirmPassword"],
90
+ });
91
+
92
+ const UpdateUserSchema = BaseUserSchema.partial(); // all fields optional
93
+
94
+ // ✅ Pick / Omit
95
+ const LoginSchema = BaseUserSchema.pick({ email: true }).extend({
96
+ password: z.string(),
97
+ });
98
+
99
+ // ✅ Merge two schemas
100
+ const FullProfileSchema = BaseUserSchema.merge(AddressSchema);
101
+ ```
102
+
103
+ ### API Boundary Validation
104
+
105
+ ```typescript
106
+ // ✅ Server-side: validate at the boundary, type-safe downstream
107
+ import { z } from "zod";
108
+
109
+ // Define once, use everywhere
110
+ const QuerySchema = z.object({
111
+ page: z.coerce.number().int().min(1).default(1),
112
+ limit: z.coerce.number().int().min(1).max(100).default(20),
113
+ sort: z.enum(["created", "updated", "name"]).default("created"),
114
+ order: z.enum(["asc", "desc"]).default("desc"),
115
+ search: z.string().max(200).optional(),
116
+ });
117
+
118
+ // Express middleware
119
+ function validate<T extends z.ZodType>(schema: T) {
120
+ return (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
121
+ const result = schema.safeParse(req.body);
122
+ if (!result.success) {
123
+ return res.status(400).json({
124
+ error: "Validation failed",
125
+ issues: result.error.flatten().fieldErrors,
126
+ });
127
+ }
128
+ req.body = result.data; // ✅ Validated + coerced data replaces raw body
129
+ next();
130
+ };
131
+ }
132
+
133
+ app.post("/api/users", validate(CreateUserSchema), async (req, res) => {

+ AI coding assistants often fall into specific bad habits when dealing with this domain. These are strictly forbidden:
291
+
292
+ 1. **Over-engineering:** Proposing complex abstractions or distributed systems when a simpler approach suffices.
293
+ 2. **Hallucinated Libraries/Methods:** Using non-existent methods or packages. Always `// VERIFY` or check `package.json` / `requirements.txt`.
294
+ 3. **Skipping Edge Cases:** Writing the "happy path" and ignoring error handling, timeouts, or data validation.
295
+ 4. **Context Amnesia:** Forgetting the user's constraints and offering generic advice instead of tailored solutions.
296
+ 5. **Silent Degradation:** Catching and suppressing errors without logging or re-raising.

303
+ ### ❌ Forbidden AI Tropes
304
+
305
+ 1. **Blind Assumptions:** Never make an assumption without documenting it clearly with `// VERIFY: [reason]`.
306
+ 2. **Silent Degradation:** Catching and suppressing errors without logging or handling.
307
+ 3. **Context Amnesia:** Forgetting the user's constraints and offering generic advice instead of tailored solutions.

309
+ Review these questions before confirming output:
310
+
311
+ ```
312
+ ✅ Did I rely ONLY on real, verified tools and methods?
313
+ ✅ Is this solution appropriately scoped to the user's constraints?
314
+ ✅ Did I handle potential failure modes and edge cases?
315
+ ✅ Have I avoided generic boilerplate that doesn't add value?
316
+ ```
317
+
318
+ ### 🛑 Verification-Before-Completion (VBC) Protocol
319
+
320
+ **CRITICAL:** You must follow a strict "evidence-based closeout" state machine.
321
+
322
+ - ❌ **Forbidden:** Declaring a task complete because the output "looks correct."
323
+ - ✅ **Required:** You are explicitly forbidden from finalizing any task without providing **concrete evidence** (terminal output, passing tests, compile success, or equivalent proof) that your output works as intended.
324
+
325
+ ## Pre-Flight Checklist
326
+
327
+ - [ ] Have I reviewed the user's specific constraints and requests?
328
+ - [ ] Have I checked the environment for relevant existing implementations?
329
+
330
+ ## VBC Protocol (Verification-Before-Completion)
331
+
332
+ You MUST verify existing code signatures and variables before attempting to modify or call them. No hallucination is permitted.
