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
This skill automates the setup of a new TypeScript backend project. It handles initial scaffolding, including package installation and basic configuration files, significantly reducing manual effort for developers starting new projects. The resulting project is ready for immediate development with a standard structure.
When to use it
- You need to quickly start a new Node.js/TypeScript backend project without the usual setup overhead.
- You're prototyping an API and want to avoid configuring boilerplate files.
- A team needs consistent project structures across multiple developers.
- You are teaching someone how to set up a TypeScript backend project.
Key capabilities
- Automated project scaffolding
- Package installation (likely including dependencies like Express, testing frameworks, etc.)
- Configuration file generation (e.g.,
tsconfig.json, potentially.eslintrc.js) - Standardized project structure
Example prompts
- "Create a new TypeScript backend project with Express."
- "Set up a basic Node.js/TypeScript API project."
- “Generate a Typescript backend project ready for Jest testing.”
Tips & gotchas
The specific packages and configurations included in the generated project will depend on the underlying implementation of the skill, so review the created files to ensure they meet your needs. This skill assumes basic familiarity with Node.js and TypeScript concepts.
