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.
Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill
What it does
This skill provides expert guidance on leveraging TypeScript's advanced type system features to build robust and type-safe applications. It focuses on enabling developers to create sophisticated domain models, enforce business rules through types, and implement complex patterns with compile-time guarantees. The skill supports creating reusable libraries and integrating with frameworks that require advanced TypeScript typing techniques.
When to use it
- Building type-safe APIs with strict contracts and validation.
- Implementing complex domain models where compile-time enforcement is crucial.
- Creating reusable libraries that benefit from sophisticated type inference.
- Enforcing business rules directly within the type system.
- Developing framework integrations requiring advanced TypeScript types.
Key capabilities
- Conditional Types: Type selection based on conditions (type-level if/else).
- Mapped Types: Transforming object types systematically (e.g.,
Partial,Readonly). - Template Literal Types: String manipulation at compile time.
- Type Guards: Runtime checking with type narrowing.
- Discriminated Unions: Type-safe state machines with exhaustiveness checking.
- Branded Types: Nominal types to prevent primitive mixing.
- Builder Pattern: Type-safe fluent APIs with progressive type constraints.
- Advanced Generics: Utilizing constraints, inference, and higher-kinded type patterns.
Example prompts
- "How can I use conditional types to validate the structure of a configuration object?"
- "Show me an example of using mapped types to create a
Readonlyversion of an interface." - "Explain how discriminated unions help in building type-safe state machines."
Tips & gotchas
