# @suaveplan/timing

Timing and scheduling utilities for application-layer time management. The package covers measurement (stopwatch with lap recording), rate control (throttle and debounce with leading/trailing edge and maxWait), value decay (exponential and linear curves), delayed-task scheduling with drain/dispose lifecycle, repeating interval timers, countdowns with pause/resume, and vector clocks for distributed happens-before ordering. All stateful primitives accept an injectable `Clock` so they can be driven deterministically in tests using `FakeClock` from `@suaveplan/testing`.

## When to use this skill

- Implementing or debugging code that imports `@suaveplan/timing`.
- The task touches: see package README.
- You need API guidance for this package's exports.

## Quick reference

```ts
import { /* see API Reference below */ } from "@suaveplan/timing";
```

## Dependencies

Workspace dependencies: `@suaveplan/error`, `@suaveplan/events`, `@suaveplan/types`

## Where to read more

This skill is intentionally short. The package's own documentation is the authoritative source — read these in order:

1. **`packages/foundation/timing/README.md`** — overview, install, quick-start, module index
2. **`packages/foundation/timing/src/**/*.md`** — co-located docs per implementation file (Purpose, Features, Basic + Advanced examples, full API reference, Implementation notes — all packages  ship ≥200 words per module)
3. **`packages/foundation/timing/package.json`** `exports` map — every subpath you can import from

When the user asks an API question, read the relevant co-located `.md` first; do not answer from training-data memory.
