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
The dry-types skill helps ensure your TypeScript code adheres to the "Don't Repeat Yourself" (DRY) principle. It analyzes TypeScript code and identifies opportunities to reduce redundancy, promoting cleaner, more maintainable codebases by suggesting type definitions that can be reused or generalized. This leads to fewer errors and easier updates across projects.
When to use it
- Refactoring existing TypeScript projects: Identify duplicated type definitions and consolidate them for improved consistency.
- Creating new TypeScript libraries/packages: Enforce DRY principles from the outset, leading to a more robust and maintainable codebase.
- Code reviews: Quickly identify potential areas of code duplication related to types during peer review processes.
- Large projects with many type definitions: Streamline complex type systems by identifying and eliminating redundancies.
Key capabilities
- Type definition analysis
- Redundancy detection
- Suggestion generation for reusable types
- Codebase-wide scanning
Example prompts
- "Analyze this TypeScript code for duplicated type definitions."
- "Suggest ways to consolidate these similar interfaces in my project."
- "Find opportunities to reuse type definitions within this codebase."
Tips & gotchas
This skill is most effective when applied to larger projects with a significant number of type definitions. It requires access to the TypeScript source code for analysis.
