SRA: Skill for Claude Code

.agent/skills/zod/SKILL.md

zod is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Aniket-a14/SRA. It costs 71 tokens per session (1,370 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of zod, Apache-2.0.

Guidance for using Zod, a TypeScript library that checks whether data matches a defined shape and can derive types from it.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps define object schemas, validate strings and other values, choose between parse and safeParse, infer types, compose schemas, and handle errors.
Why use it?
It helps catch invalid data and handle parsing errors consistently while keeping validation and TypeScript types aligned.

This is Aniket-a14/SRA's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on SRA itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything SRA configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

zod scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to zod — 21 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Zod Best Practices

Comprehensive schema validation guide for Zod in TypeScript applications. Contains 43 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact to guide automated refactoring and code generation.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Writing new Zod schemas
  • Choosing between parse() and safeParse()
  • Implementing type inference with z.infer
  • Handling validation errors for user feedback
  • Composing complex object schemas
  • Using refinements and transforms
  • Optimizing bundle size and validation performance
  • Reviewing Zod code for best practices

Rule Categories by Priority

Priority Category Impact Prefix
1 Schema Definition CRITICAL schema-
2 Parsing & Validation CRITICAL parse-
3 Type Inference HIGH type-
4 Error Handling HIGH error-
5 Object Schemas MEDIUM-HIGH object-
6 Schema Composition MEDIUM compose-
7 Refinements & Transforms MEDIUM refine-
8 Performance & Bundle LOW-MEDIUM perf-

Quick Reference

1. Schema Definition (CRITICAL)

  • schema-use-primitives-correctly - Use correct primitive schemas for each type
  • schema-use-unknown-not-any - Use z.unknown() instead of z.any() for type safety
  • schema-avoid-optional-abuse - Avoid overusing optional fields
  • schema-string-validations - Apply string validations at schema definition
  • schema-use-enums - Use enums for fixed string values
  • schema-coercion-for-form-data - Use coercion for form and query data

2. Parsing & Validation (CRITICAL)

  • parse-use-safeparse - Use safeParse() for user input
  • parse-async-for-async-refinements - Use parseAsync for async refinements
  • parse-handle-all-issues - Handle all validation issues not just first
  • parse-validate-early - Validate at system boundaries
  • parse-avoid-double-validation - Avoid validating same data twice
  • parse-never-trust-json - Never trust JSON.parse output

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
