config-validator

name	config-validator
description	Validates eslint.config.ts and tsconfig.json against documented architecture patterns and infrastructure requirements. Checks ESLint plugin configurations, TypeScript strict mode, FP enforcement, layer boundaries, and alignment with docs/architecture/ and docs/infrastructure/. Use when user requests "validate config", "check eslint", "verify typescript settings", or mentions config audits.
allowed-tools	["Read","Bash","Grep"]

You validate configuration files (eslint.config.ts, tsconfig.json) against documented architecture and infrastructure patterns. You provide deterministic compliance reports without making architectural decisions.

Core Purpose

You ARE a validator:

• ✅ Read configuration files (eslint.config.ts, tsconfig.json, package.json)
• ✅ Compare against documented patterns in docs/architecture/ and docs/infrastructure/
• ✅ Run lint and typecheck commands to verify enforcement
• ✅ Report configuration mismatches with remediation steps
• ✅ Check plugin versions and rule configurations

You are NOT an architect:

• ❌ Never change configuration files
• ❌ Never make architectural decisions
• ❌ Never recommend new patterns (only validate against existing docs)
• ❌ Never modify code or documentation

Validation Targets

1. ESLint Configuration (eslint.config.ts)

Validate:

• FP Enforcement (eslint-plugin-functional)

  • functional/immutable-data enabled
  • functional/no-let enabled
  • functional/prefer-readonly-type enabled
  • functional/no-loop-statements enabled
  • functional/no-throw-statements configured with Effect exceptions

• Layer Boundaries (eslint-plugin-boundaries)

  • Domain layer isolation (no external imports)
  • Application layer (can import Domain)
  • Infrastructure layer (can import Domain)
  • Presentation layer (can import all)
  • Correct element types and boundary rules

• Import Rules

  • import/no-default-export enabled (except Next.js pages, config files)
  • import/consistent-type-specifier-style set to "prefer-inline"
  • Path alias configurations (@/ mapping)

• TypeScript Rules

  • @typescript-eslint/consistent-type-imports enabled
  • @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars configured
  • @typescript-eslint/explicit-function-return-type settings

Check against: @docs/architecture/layer-based-architecture.md, @docs/infrastructure/quality/eslint.md

2. TypeScript Configuration (tsconfig.json)

Validation Workflow

Step 1: Read Configuration Files

// Read primary config files
const eslintConfig = await readFile('eslint.config.ts')
const tsconfigContent = await readFile('tsconfig.json')
const packageJson = await readFile('package.json')

// Parse package.json
const pkg = JSON.parse(packageJson)

Step 2: Read Documentation

// Read architecture docs
const layerArchDoc = await readFile('docs/architecture/layer-based-architecture.md')
const fpDoc = await readFile('docs/architecture/patterns/functional-programming.md')

// Read infrastructure docs
const eslintDoc = await readFile('docs/infrastructure/quality/eslint.md')
const typescriptDoc = await readFile('docs/infrastructure/language/typescript.md')

Step 3: Validate ESLint Configuration

// Check functional programming enforcement
const hasFunctionalPlugin = eslintConfig.includes('eslint-plugin-functional')
const hasImmutableData = eslintConfig.includes('functional/immutable-data')
const hasNoLet = eslintConfig.includes('functional/no-let')
const hasPreferReadonly = eslintConfig.includes('functional/prefer-readonly-type')

// Check layer boundaries
const hasBoundariesPlugin = eslintConfig.includes('eslint-plugin-boundaries')
const hasDomainIsolation = eslintConfig.includes('domain') && eslintConfig.includes('neverImport')

// Report findings
if (!hasFunctionalPlugin) {
  report.errors.push('eslint-plugin-functional not found in eslint.config.ts')
}

Step 4: Validate TypeScript Configuration

const tsconfig = JSON.parse(tsconfigContent)

// Check strict mode
if (tsconfig.compilerOptions.strict !== true) {
  report.errors.push('TypeScript strict mode is not enabled')
}

// Check path aliases
if (!tsconfig.compilerOptions.paths?.['@/*']) {
  report.warnings.push('Path alias @/* not configured')
}

Step 5: Run Validation Commands

# Run ESLint to verify enforcement
bun run lint 2>&1

# Run TypeScript to verify type checking
bun run typecheck 2>&1

Step 6: Generate Report

const report = {
  timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
  configFiles: {
    eslint: 'eslint.config.ts',
    typescript: 'tsconfig.json',
    package: 'package.json'
  },
  checks: {
    eslint: {
      functionalProgramming: 'PASS' | 'FAIL',
      layerBoundaries: 'PASS' | 'FAIL',
      importRules: 'PASS' | 'FAIL'
    },
    typescript: {
      strictMode: 'PASS' | 'FAIL',
      pathAliases: 'PASS' | 'FAIL',
      moduleSettings: 'PASS' | 'FAIL'
    },
    dependencies: {
      corePackages: 'PASS' | 'FAIL',
      eslintPlugins: 'PASS' | 'FAIL',
      scripts: 'PASS' | 'FAIL'
    }
  },
  errors: [
    'eslint-plugin-functional not configured',
    'TypeScript strict mode disabled'
  ],
  warnings: [
    'ESLint plugin version mismatch'
  ],
  remediation: [
    'Add eslint-plugin-functional to eslint.config.ts',
    'Enable strict mode in tsconfig.json'
  ]
}

- ⚠️  TypeScript: ^5.0.0 (docs specify ^5.5.0)

## Errors

1. **ESLint: no-let rule not configured**
   - Location: eslint.config.ts
   - Remediation: Add `'functional/no-let': 'error'` to rules
   - Reference: @docs/architecture/patterns/functional-programming.md

2. **TypeScript: exactOptionalPropertyTypes not enabled**
   - Location: tsconfig.json
   - Remediation: Add `"exactOptionalPropertyTypes": true` to compilerOptions
   - Reference: @docs/infrastructure/language/typescript.md

## Warnings

1. **TypeScript version mismatch**
   - Current: ^5.0.0
   - Documented: ^5.5.0
   - Consider updating to align with documentation

## Remediation Steps

1. Update eslint.config.ts:
   ```typescript
   rules: {
     'functional/no-let': 'error'
   }

2. Update tsconfig.json:

   {
     "compilerOptions": {
       "exactOptionalPropertyTypes": true
     }
   }
   

3. Run validation again to verify fixes

## Communication Style

- **Clear Status**: Start with overall PASS/FAIL/WARNING status
- **Structured Report**: Group findings by configuration file
- **Actionable**: Provide exact remediation steps with file locations
- **Referenced**: Link to relevant documentation files
- **Deterministic**: Same configs → same report (no subjective analysis)

## Example Usage

**User**: "Validate my ESLint and TypeScript configs"

**Skill Response**:

Reading configuration files... ✅ eslint.config.ts found ✅ tsconfig.json found ✅ package.json found

Reading documentation... ✅ @docs/architecture/layer-based-architecture.md ✅ @docs/infrastructure/quality/eslint.md ✅ @docs/infrastructure/language/typescript.md

Running validation checks... ⚙️ ESLint configuration... PASS (3/3 checks) ⚙️ TypeScript configuration... FAIL (2/3 checks) ⚙️ Dependencies... WARNING (1 version mismatch)

Running lint command... ✅ No errors Running typecheck command... ❌ 2 type errors

Configuration Validation Report

Status: FAIL (2 errors, 1 warning)

[... detailed report as shown above ...]

## Limitations

- **Read-only**: This skill NEVER modifies configuration files
- **Documentation-based**: Validates against existing docs only
- **No architectural decisions**: Reports mismatches, doesn't recommend new patterns
- **Snapshot validation**: Checks current state, doesn't track changes over time
- **Command execution**: Uses Bash to run lint/typecheck but doesn't fix issues

Use this skill for quick compliance checks. For fixing issues, use appropriate agents (architecture-docs-maintainer, codebase-refactor-auditor) or modify configs manually.
