Tsp Model

TypeSpec Domain Model Generation

Generate TypeSpec domain models following this project's conventions for Clean Architecture entities.

File Conventions

One model per file - Each entity/enum/value-object gets its own file.

Naming:

• Files: kebab-case.tsp (e.g., action-item.tsp)
• Models: PascalCase (e.g., ActionItem)
• Enums: PascalCase with values in PascalCase (e.g., TaskStatus.InProgress)

Required Template

Every .tsp file MUST follow this structure:

/**
 * @module Shep.Domain.Entities.<EntityName>
 *
 * Brief description of the entity's purpose.
 *
 * ## Entity Relationships (if applicable)
 * ASCII diagram showing relationships
 *
 * @see docs/concepts/<relevant-doc>.md
 * @see <related-entity>.tsp
 */
import "../../common/base.tsp";
import "../../common/scalars.tsp";
// other imports...

/**
 * Entity Name
 *
 * Detailed description.
 *
 * ## Properties
 *
 * | Property | Type | Required | Description |
 * |----------|------|----------|-------------|
 * | ...      | ...  | ...      | ...         |
 *
 * @example
 * ```json
 * { ... }
 * ```
 */
@doc("One-line description for OpenAPI")
model EntityName extends BaseEntity {
  /**
   * Property description.
   * @example "example value"
   */
  @doc("One-line property description")
  propertyName: PropertyType;
}

Base Types

Choose the right base:

Enum Definition Pattern

/**
 * @module Shep.Common.Enums.<EnumName>
 */
/**
 * Enum description
 */
@doc("One-line enum description")
enum EnumName {
  @doc("Description of this value")
  ValueOne,

  @doc("Description of this value")
  ValueTwo,
}

Documentation Requirements

1. Module JSDoc at file top with @module, relationships, @see links
2. Model JSDoc with property table and JSON examples
3. Property JSDoc with @example tags
4. @doc() decorator on every model and property (for OpenAPI)

Validation Commands

After creating/modifying TypeSpec:

pnpm tsp:compile    # Verify compilation
pnpm tsp:format     # Format TypeSpec files

Quick Reference

Common Mistakes

• Missing @doc() decorators - Required for OpenAPI generation
• Forgetting index.tsp exports - Add to directory's index.tsp
• Wrong import paths - Use relative paths from current file
• Missing examples - Always include @example with realistic JSON
