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 identifies and extracts distinct special values from TypeScript code. It can pinpoint unique literal types, union members, or other specific values used within a codebase. This is useful for refactoring, understanding complex type definitions, and ensuring consistent value usage across projects.
When to use it
- Refactoring: When consolidating duplicate type definitions or removing unused special values.
- Code Understanding: To quickly identify all possible values in a union type or enum.
- Type Safety Audits: To verify that all expected special values are accounted for within a system.
- Documentation Generation: Automatically extract and document the distinct special values used in a TypeScript project.
Key capabilities
- Identifies literal types
- Extracts union members
- Recognizes specific value usage patterns
Example prompts
- "List all distinct string literals used in this file."
- "What are the possible values for this enum?"
- "Find all unique number constants defined within these TypeScript files."
Tips & gotchas
This skill requires access to the relevant TypeScript code. The accuracy of the extracted values depends on the clarity and structure of the input code; complex or obfuscated code may yield less reliable results.
