| description | Author or refresh `.tsupgrader/runtime-validation/eval-plan.json` — the file `typescript_validate_runtime` later replays. Produces or updates the plan and stops; does not invoke validation or interpret results. |
Produce a valid .tsupgrader/runtime-validation/eval-plan.json for the project and save it to disk. For webapps, also record one or more supporting Playwright .spec.ts files that the plan references.
Workflow
Step 1 — Create or refresh
If <packageDirectory>/.tsupgrader/runtime-validation/eval-plan.json does not exist, create one from scratch. If it does exist, read its projectType and current assertions, then update only the parts that no longer apply.
Step 2 — Detect the project type
Read package.json, the README, and the source tree. Pick the closest match:
electron in dependencies → electron.- A
bin field in package.json, or scripts pointing at a CLI entry such as bin/<name>.js → cli.
react-dom, vue, svelte, solid-js, @angular/platform-browser, next, or a dev-server script (dev / start / serve) that boots Vite / webpack-dev-server / Next / Angular CLI → webapp.express, fastify, koa, hapi, @nestjs/core, apollo-server, graphql-yoga, or source that calls .listen(<port>) → server.- Otherwise (only consumed via
import, no executable entry) → library.
- Special: VS Code / Babel / Webpack plugins use plugin. Build systems like Nx / Lerna use framework. Use other only as a last resort.
Step 3 — (Webapps only) record Playwright flows first
If projectType is webapp, the plan will reference one or more Playwright .spec.ts files. Follow recording.md end-to-end before authoring the plan.
Step 4 — Pick the per-type template
Read per-project-type.md, copy the template for your project's type, and adapt commands, paths, and URLs. For server projects, follow the endpoint-discovery procedure in that file — do not invent routes.
Step 5 — Add the tests-pass assertion
Read tests-assertion.md and append the tests-pass assertion. If the project has no test script, follow the generation flow in that file before emitting the assertion.
Step 6 — Apply schema and output-contains rules
Step 7 — Save
Write the JSON to <packageDirectory>/.tsupgrader/runtime-validation/eval-plan.json. Use 2-space indentation. Assertion names must be unique within the file.
Step 8 — Hand control back
Report what you did in one or two sentences. If you were invoked by another skill, that skill resumes from where it left off. If the user invoked you directly, tell them the plan is saved.
Do not invoke typescript_validate_runtime yourself — that's the calling workflow's job.
Key principles
- Author for replay. Every assertion must be deterministic across runs. Avoid time-of-day output, random ports, or commands whose output drifts.
- One assertion = one concern. Don't pack multiple checks into a single command.
- Prefer
exit-code over output-contains when possible. Exit codes are unambiguous; output strings are fragile.
