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
Only contacts known or declared hosts: github.com.
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.
Hosts contacted
github.comsource hostNo 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 AI agents to leverage advanced TypeScript type system features. It enables the creation of complex, reusable type definitions for improved code safety and maintainability. Specifically, it facilitates working with conditional types, mapped types, and utility types to generate custom types based on existing ones.
When to use it
- Refactoring Legacy Code: When dealing with older JavaScript projects lacking strong typing, this skill can help introduce type safety incrementally by creating new, strongly-typed components alongside the existing code.
- Building Reusable UI Components: Generate specific types for component props and state based on a common interface or data structure.
- Data Transformation Pipelines: Define custom types to represent intermediate data structures during complex transformations, ensuring type correctness at each step.
- API Integration: Create precise TypeScript types representing the structure of API responses, reducing errors when processing external data.
Key capabilities
- Conditional Types: Creating types that depend on other types.
- Mapped Types: Transforming existing types to create new ones.
- Utility Types: Utilizing built-in TypeScript type utilities (e.g.,
Partial,Readonly).
Example prompts
- "Generate a mapped type from this interface:
interface User { name: string; age: number }that makes all properties optional." - “Create a conditional type that returns 'string' if a type is a string, otherwise return ‘any’."
- "Given this array of objects
{id:number, value: string}, create a type definition for thevalueproperty.”
Tips & gotchas
This skill requires a foundational understanding of TypeScript and its core concepts. Complex type definitions can be difficult to debug; start with simple transformations and gradually increase complexity.
