How to use zod-schema-validation on Cursor

AI-first code editor with Composer

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

›Cursor installed and configured on your machine
›Node.js 16+ with npm — verify with node --version
›Active project directory where you want to add zod-schema-validation

Run the install command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/mindrally/skills --skill zod-schema-validation

Fetches zod-schema-validation from mindrally/skills and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:

Security Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Roadmap Prioritization

Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs

Example

Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale

Schema Design

Basic Schema

import { z } from 'zod' const UserSchema = z.object({ id: z.string().uuid(), email: z.string().email(), name: z.string().min(1).max(100), age: z.number().int().positive().optional(), role: z.enum(['admin', 'user', 'guest']), createdAt: z.date(), }) type User = z.infer<typeof UserSchema>

Best Practices

Define schemas close to where they're used

Use .infer to derive TypeScript types

Compose schemas using .extend(), .merge(), .pick(), .omit()

Create reusable base schemas for common patterns

Validation Patterns

Safe Parsing

const result = UserSchema.safeParse(data) if (!result.success) { console.error(result.error.format()) return } // result.data is typed as User

Transform and Refine

const schema = z.string() .transform((val) => val.trim().toLowerCase()) .refine((val) => val.length > 0, 'Cannot be empty')

Advanced Patterns

Discriminated Unions

const ResultSchema = z.discriminatedUnion('status', [ z.object({ status: z.literal('success'), data: UserSchema }), z.object({ status: z.literal('error'), message: z.string() }), ])

Recursive Schemas

const CategorySchema: z.ZodType<Category> = z.lazy(() => z.object({ name: z.string(), children: z.array(CategorySchema), }) )
