Type Hints provide static type information for your code, improving readability, catching errors early, and boosting developer productivity.

Repository

Install on your platform

Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

Installs under a different name. Its SKILL.md names it Type Hints, not the name it is listed under, so the command below uses that name.
  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add pluginagentmarketplace/custom-plugin-python --skill "Type Hints" -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

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 pluginagentmarketplace/custom-plugin-python at 4415517654.

    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 enables Python-based AI agents to utilize type hints for defining variable types, function arguments, and return values within their code execution environment. It enhances code readability and allows the agent to leverage static analysis tools for better error detection during development.

When to use it

  • Developing complex logic where explicit data structure definitions are required to prevent runtime errors.
  • Collaborating on multi-agent projects that need consistent interface contracts between different components.
  • Refactoring legacy codebases to improve maintainability and self-documentation capabilities.
  • Integrating with IDEs or linters that rely on type information for intelligent code completion.

Key capabilities

  • Adds support for Python type hinting syntax (e.g., int, str, List) in agent scripts.
  • Facilitates static type checking to catch logical errors before execution.
  • Improves code documentation by embedding type information directly into function signatures.

Example prompts

  • "Write a Python function that accepts a list of integers and returns their average, using proper type hints."
  • "Refactor this existing script to include type annotations for all variables and function parameters."
  • "Create a data validation class with typed methods to ensure inputs match expected formats."

Tips & gotchas

Type hints are optional in Python and do not affect runtime behavior; they serve primarily for developer tools and documentation. Ensure your development environment supports the specific version of type hinting syntax you intend to use, as older Python versions may lack full support for newer features like typing.Protocol.
