use-zod
Answer questions about the Zod schema validation library and help build schemas, parsers, refinements, transforms, codecs, and error formatters. Use when developers: (1) ask about Zod APIs like `z.object`, `z.string`, `z.array`, `z.union`, `z.discriminatedUnion`, `parse`, `safeParse`, `z.infer`; (2) define request/response/form schemas in TypeScript; (3) handle `ZodError` or customize error messages; (4) migrate between Zod v3 and v4 (entry-point split, `formatError` → `treeifyError`/`prettifyError`, unified `error` param replacing `message`/`errorMap`). Triggers on: "zod", "z.object", "z.string", "z.array", "z.union", "z.infer", "z.input", "z.output", "ZodError", "$ZodError", "safeParse", "parseAsync", "z.codec", "treeifyError", "prettifyError", "flattenError", "discriminatedUnion", "zod/v4", "zod/v3", "zod/mini", "z.coerce", "superRefine".
