 AVA comes bundled with a TypeScript definition file. This allows developers to leverage TypeScript for writing tests.
 
-This guide assumes you've already set up TypeScript for your project. Note that AVA's definition has been tested with version 3.7.5.
-
-## Configuring AVA to compile TypeScript files on the fly
-
-You can configure AVA to recognize TypeScript files. Then, with `ts-node` installed, you can compile them on the fly.
-
-`package.json`:
+Out of the box AVA does not load TypeScript test files, however. Rudimentary support is available via the [`@ava/typescript`] package. You can also use AVA with [`ts-node`]. Read on for details.
 
-```json
-{
-	"ava": {
-		"extensions": [
-			"ts"
-		],
-		"require": [
-			"ts-node/register"
-		]
-	}
-}
-```
-
-It's worth noting that with this configuration tests will fail if there are TypeScript build errors. If you want to test while ignoring these errors you can use `ts-node/register/transpile-only` instead of `ts-node/register`.
-
-### Using module path mapping
-
-`ts-node` [does not support module path mapping](https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node/issues/138), however you can use [`tsconfig-paths`](https://github.com/dividab/tsconfig-paths#readme).
-
-Once installed, add the `tsconfig-paths/register` entry to the `require` section of AVA's config:
-
-`package.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-	"ava": {
-		"extensions": [
-			"ts"
-		],
-		"require": [
-			"ts-node/register",
-			"tsconfig-paths/register"
-		]
-	}
-}
-```
-
-Then you can start using module aliases:
-
-`tsconfig.json`:
-```json
-{
-	"baseUrl": ".",
-	"paths": {
-		"@helpers/*": ["helpers/*"]
-	}
-}
-```
-
-Test:
-
-```ts
-import myHelper from '@helpers/myHelper';
-
-// Rest of the file
-```
-
-## Compiling TypeScript files before running AVA
+This guide assumes you've already set up TypeScript for your project. Note that AVA's definition has been tested with version 3.7.5.
 
-Add a `test` script in the `package.json` file. It will compile the project first and then run AVA.
+## Enabling AVA's TypeScript support
 
-```json
-{
-	"scripts": {
-		"test": "tsc && ava"
-	}
-}
-```
+Currently, AVA's TypeScript support is designed to work for projects that precompile TypeScript. Please see [`@ava/typescript`] for setup instructions.
 
-Make sure that AVA runs your built TypeScript files.
+Read on until the end to learn how to use [`ts-node`] with AVA.
