fp-ts Quick Reference
Which Type Should I Use?
Is the operation async?
├─ NO: Does it involve errors?
│ ├─ YES → Either<Error, Value>
│ └─ NO: Might value be missing?
│ ├─ YES → Option<Value>
│ └─ NO → Just use the value
└─ YES: Does it involve errors?
├─ YES → TaskEither<Error, Value>
└─ NO: Might value be missing?
├─ YES → TaskOption<Value>
└─ NO → Task<Value>
Common Imports
// Core
import { pipe, flow } from 'fp-ts/function'
// Types
import * as O from 'fp-ts/Option' // Maybe exists
import * as E from 'fp-ts/Either' // Success or failure
import * as TE from 'fp-ts/TaskEither' // Async + failure
import * as T from 'fp-ts/Task' // Async (no failure)
import * as A from 'fp-ts/Array' // Array utilities
One-Line Patterns
| Need | Code |
|---|---|
| Wrap nullable | O.fromNullable(value) |
| Default value | O.getOrElse(() => default) |
| Transform if exists | O.map(fn) |
| Chain optionals | O.flatMap(fn) |
| Wrap try/catch | E.tryCatch(() => risky(), toError) |
| Wrap async | TE.tryCatch(() => fetch(url), toError) |
| Run pipe | pipe(value, fn1, fn2, fn3) |
Pattern Match
// Option
pipe(maybe, O.match(
() => 'nothing',
(val) => `got ${val}`
))
// Either
pipe(result, E.match(
(err) => `error: ${err}`,
(val) => `success: ${val}`
))

Memory-First Protocol
Retrieve prior design decisions (color palettes, typography, spacing scales) to maintain visual consistency across sessions. Cache generated design tokens.
# Check for prior frontend/design context before starting
python3 execution/memory_manager.py auto --query "design system decisions and component patterns for Fp Types Ref"
Storing Results
After completing work, store frontend/design decisions for future sessions:
python3 execution/memory_manager.py store \
--content "Design system: adopted 8px grid, Inter font family, HSL color tokens with dark mode support" \
--type decision --project <project> \
--tags fp-types-ref frontend
Multi-Agent Collaboration
Share design decisions with backend agents (API contract changes) and QA agents (visual regression baselines).
python3 execution/cross_agent_context.py store \
--agent "<your-agent>" \
--action "Implemented UI components — new design system with accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1 AA)" \
--project <project>
Design Memory Persistence
Store design system tokens and component decisions in Qdrant so any agent on any platform (Claude, Gemini, Cursor) can retrieve and apply consistent styling.
