description	Generate or maintain A2UI catalog JSON from TypeDoc reflections for TypeScript interfaces marked with @a2uiCatalog.

A2UI Catalog Extractor

Use this skill when a task involves authoring, updating, debugging, or generating A2UI catalog JSON from TSX/TypeScript component interfaces.

Workflow

1. Mark only the catalog-facing TypeScript interface with @a2uiCatalog <ComponentName>.
2. Use only standard TypeDoc-supported tags besides @a2uiCatalog: summaries, @remarks, @defaultValue, and @deprecated.
3. Keep catalog-facing shapes inline in the marked interface. The extractor consumes TypeDoc reflection data and does not parse source files itself.
4. Generate component catalog files with:

a2ui-catalog-extractor --catalog-dir src/catalog --out-dir dist/catalog

Supported Type Shapes

• string, number, boolean
• string literal unions, emitted as JSON Schema enum
• mixed unions, emitted as oneOf
• arrays with T[], Array<T>, or ReadonlyArray<T>
• inline object type literals
• Record<string, T>

Developers should not write JSON Schema in comments. If extraction fails because a reference is unsupported, inline the component's catalog contract in the marked interface.
