About This Skill
What it does
The typescript-detector skill identifies whether a given file contains TypeScript code. It can analyze files based on their content to determine if they utilize TypeScript syntax and features, rather than relying solely on file extensions. This allows for accurate detection even when files have incorrect or missing extensions.
When to use it
- Code analysis pipelines: Integrate into build processes to conditionally execute TypeScript-specific tasks (e.g., compilation).
- File type identification: Determine the programming language of a file without relying on its extension, useful for automated tooling.
- Refactoring tools: Identify TypeScript files that need conversion or modification during code refactoring efforts.
- Content filtering: Filter files based on whether they contain TypeScript code for specific operations.
Key capabilities
- Content-based TypeScript detection
- Accurate identification regardless of file extension
- Integration into automated workflows
Example prompts
- "Is this file a Typescript file? [file content]"
- "Analyze the following code and tell me if it's written in TypeScript: [code snippet]"
- "Detect if the provided text contains TypeScript syntax: [text block]"
Tips & gotchas
The skill relies on analyzing the content of a file. Very short or incomplete files might lead to inaccurate results. Ensure sufficient code is provided for reliable detection.
