Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
This skill allows an AI agent to infer the type of a variable or expression based on its context within TypeScript code. It can automatically determine types when they are not explicitly provided, reducing boilerplate and improving code readability. The skill leverages TypeScript's type inference capabilities to suggest appropriate types in various scenarios.
When to use it
- Code Completion: When an AI agent is generating or completing TypeScript code and the type of a variable isn’t immediately obvious.
- Refactoring: During refactoring tasks where explicit type annotations are missing, allowing for safer and more accurate changes.
- Learning & Explanation: To help understand how TypeScript's type inference works by demonstrating inferred types in different situations.
- Code Review: To identify potential type-related issues or suggest improvements based on context.
Key capabilities
- Type Inference
- Contextual Analysis
- TypeScript Expertise
Example prompts
- "What is the inferred type of
xin this code:const x = 10;?" - "Explain how TypeScript infers the type of
resulthere:function add(a: number, b: number) { return a + b; const result = add(5, 3); }" - "Suggest an appropriate type for this variable:
const data = { name: 'John', age: 30 };"
Tips & gotchas
This skill requires a basic understanding of TypeScript syntax and concepts. The accuracy of the inferred types depends on the clarity and completeness of the surrounding code context.
