JSON to Zod Schema Generator
Turn a real local JSON payload into a ready-to-import Zod schema and inferred TypeScript type, including nested objects, arrays, nullability, and evidence-based optional fields.

JSON to Zod Schema Generator
Example session with this skill installed
Generate a Zod schema from this local JSON payload:
response_payload.json
Requirements
- read the JSON directly from the local filesystem;
- infer nested object and array structure;
- infer integer, number, string, boolean, and null types;
- infer optional object fields only when multiple comparable object samples show that the key is absent;
- infer nullable fields from observed null values;
- combine nullable and optional when both are supported by the samples;
- use unions for heterogeneous arrays;
- use z.unknown() for empty-array element types instead of guessing;
- do not infer enums or literals from a single observed string value;
- do not infer UUID, email, or URL constraints unless explicitly requested;
- generate schema.ts;
- export both the Zod schema and its z.infer TypeScript type;
- do not modify the source JSON;
- generate schema_inference.json with warnings and inference metadata.

Observed payload samples
user.email
- string in one object
- null in another object
- absent in a third object
Generated
email: z.string().nullable().optional()
Nested object
profile:
z.object({
active: z.boolean(),
lastLogin: z.string().optional(),
})
Empty array warning
metadata.tags
Observed
[]
Generated
z.array(z.unknown())
Reason
The JSON sample does not provide enough evidence to infer the element type safely.
Generated TypeScript
import { z } from "zod";
export const ApiResponseSchema = z.object({
users: z.array(
z.object({
id: z.number().int(),
name: z.string(),
email: z.string().nullable().optional(),
profile: z.object({
active: z.boolean(),
lastLogin: z.string().optional(),
}),
})
),
page: z.number().int(),
hasMore: z.boolean(),
});
export type ApiResponse = z.infer<typeof ApiResponseSchema>;
Files generated
schema.ts
schema_inference.json
The source JSON was not modified.
The generated Zod schema reflects the JSON samples provided. Review API documentation or additional payload variants before treating inferred optionality and formats as a complete contract.
Connects securely to your tools. The creator never sees your data.
About this skill
Stop hand-writing Zod schemas from API payloads
Large JSON responses are tedious to map manually into validation schemas. Nested objects, nullable fields, arrays, and inconsistent object samples make it easy for runtime validation and TypeScript types to drift from the actual payload.
JSON to Zod Schema Generator reads the real JSON file locally and produces a ready-to-import TypeScript schema.
- Reads local JSON without requiring copy/paste
- Infers nested Zod objects and arrays
- Detects integers, numbers, booleans, strings, and nulls
- Infers optional fields only when multiple samples provide evidence
- Handles nullable + optional combinations
- Builds unions for heterogeneous arrays
- Uses z.unknown() when empty arrays provide no element-type evidence
- Optionally detects ISO datetime strings
- Quotes non-standard object keys safely
- Generates both the Zod schema and its z.infer TypeScript type
Why use this instead of pasting JSON into chat?
The Skill reads the actual local payload, applies consistent inference rules, and writes a persistent schema.ts directly into your development workflow.
JSON → Structural Inference → Zod Schema → TypeScript Type → Ready-to-Import File
Conservative by design
A single JSON sample cannot prove the entire API contract. The Skill avoids inventing enums, optional fields, or string constraints without enough evidence and clearly reports inference limitations.

Cannot prove full API contracts from single samples. Skips enums and specific string formats like UUID or email by default. Requires local Python environment.
