# TypeSpec Domain Model Generation
Generate TypeSpec domain models following this project's conventions for Clean Architecture entities.
## Directory Structure
```
tsp/
├── common/ # Base types, scalars, enums
│ ├── base.tsp # BaseEntity, SoftDeletableEntity, AuditableEntity
│ ├── scalars.tsp # UUID scalar type
│ ├── ask.tsp # Askable interface pattern
│ └── enums/ # One file per enum
├── domain/ # Domain entities
│ ├── entities/ # One file per entity
│ └── value-objects/# Embedded value objects
├── agents/ # Agent system models
└── deployment/ # Deployment configuration models
```
## 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:
````typespec
/**
* @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:**
| Base Type | Use When |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `BaseEntity` | Standard entity with id, createdAt, updatedAt |
| `SoftDeletableEntity` | Entity that can be soft-deleted (adds deletedAt) |
| `AuditableEntity` | Entity needing audit trail (adds createdBy, updatedBy) |
## Enum Definition Pattern
```typespec
/**
* @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:
```bash
pnpm tsp:compile # Verify compilation
pnpm tsp:format # Format TypeSpec files
```
## Quick Reference
| Task | Location | Example |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------- | ----------------- |
| New entity | `tsp/domain/entities/<name>.tsp` | feature.tsp |
| New enum | `tsp/common/enums/<name>.tsp` | lifecycle.tsp |
| New value object | `tsp/domain/value-objects/<name>.tsp` | gantt.tsp |
| Agent model | `tsp/agents/<name>.tsp` | feature-agent.tsp |
## 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
