Prefer explicit types for public APIs, function parameters, and complex data structures.
Avoid any; use unknown when the type is genuinely unknown.
Prefer type inference for simple local variables.
Use interfaces or type aliases consistently with existing project conventions.
Reuse existing types instead of duplicating definitions.
Use discriminated unions for state and variant-based logic when appropriate.
Handle null and undefined explicitly.
Avoid unsafe type assertions (as) unless necessary and justified.
Prefer type guards over casting.
Use generics when they improve type safety and reusability.
Keep types simple, readable, and close to where they are used.
Avoid over-engineering types for simple code.
Preserve existing TypeScript configuration and project conventions.
Run TypeScript checks, lint, tests, or build after significant changes when available.
