Why It Matters

For a platform engineer dealing with AI-generated code that often scatters types across components, this tool automates the tedious manual process of tracking imports and relocating shared types, reducing technical debt and improving developer experience in large TypeScript monorepos.

Key Takeaways

Integrate type-tune into your CI pipeline to automatically detect and relocate shared TypeScript types before they accumulate into hard-to-maintain type sprawl.

Summary

type-tune is a Rust-powered CLI that scans TypeScript projects to find shared type aliases and interfaces, then generates a reviewable plan to relocate them to appropriate directories while updating imports and preserving compatibility re-exports. It addresses the problem of type clutter in large codebases (300k+ lines) where types become shared dependencies but remain in their original component files. Unlike Knip which removes unused code, type-tune organizes actively-used types by creating a deterministic candidate ID for each shared type and validating the rewrite with the TypeScript compiler.
