What is the Zod Claude Code skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude that assists developers in implementing Zod-based runtime validation, ensuring data integrity across TypeScript projects.

Does it support data transformation?

Absolutely. The skill covers Zod's transform and refine methods to sanitize, modify, or apply custom logic to data during the validation process.

Can I use this skill for React form validation?

Yes, the skill includes specific patterns for integrating Zod with React Hook Form to provide robust, schema-driven validation for web forms.

Can Claude help refactor existing manual validation?

Yes, Claude can use this skill to identify manual type checks or if-statements and replace them with more maintainable and type-safe Zod schemas.

How does Zod improve TypeScript safety?

While TypeScript types are removed at runtime, this skill uses Zod to validate actual data against schemas, preventing crashes caused by malformed external inputs.

API Development

Implements runtime type safety and schema validation for TypeScript applications using Zod.

About

The Zod skill enables Claude to implement robust runtime data validation, bridging the gap between static TypeScript types and unpredictable external data. It provides patterns for creating schemas that validate API responses, form inputs, and environment variables, ensuring application resilience while maintaining a 'single source of truth' through automatic type inference. By using this skill, developers can safely handle untrusted data at system boundaries with features like data transformation, custom refinements, and seamless integration with the modern TypeScript ecosystem.
