Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

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.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned marius-townhouse/effective-typescript-skills at d754db2077.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill helps identify and avoid "soundness traps" in TypeScript code. Soundness traps are situations where the type system allows seemingly correct code to produce runtime errors or unexpected behavior, often due to subtle interactions between types and operations. The skill aims to surface these potential issues for review and correction.

When to use it

  • Code Review: Use this skill when reviewing TypeScript codebases to proactively identify potential soundness problems before deployment.
  • Refactoring: Apply the skill during refactoring efforts, especially when making significant changes to type definitions or complex logic.
  • Learning TypeScript: Utilize it as a learning tool to better understand the nuances and limitations of the TypeScript type system.
  • Debugging: Employ this skill when encountering unexpected runtime behavior in TypeScript code that might be related to type-related issues.

Key capabilities

  • Identifies potential soundness traps.
  • Highlights problematic code patterns.
  • Provides explanations for identified issues.

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this TypeScript code snippet for soundness traps: [code]"
  • "Review the following function and identify any potential type-related pitfalls: [function definition]"
  • “Can you find any areas in this codebase where the type system might be misleading?”

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on providing clear and complete code snippets. It is not a substitute for thorough testing, but rather a tool to aid in proactive error prevention.
