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
The unify-types skill helps resolve type mismatches in TypeScript code. It intelligently infers and combines types from disparate sources, allowing for smoother integration of different data structures or function return values. This reduces the need for manual type annotations and improves code clarity by automatically aligning types where possible.
When to use it
- When integrating components with differing type definitions.
- To simplify complex union types in function signatures.
- When dealing with legacy JavaScript code that lacks explicit TypeScript typing.
- To reduce boilerplate when combining data from multiple APIs with different response formats.
Key capabilities
- Type inference and combination
- Automatic alignment of disparate type definitions
- Reduction of manual type annotations
- Improved code clarity
Example prompts
- "Unify the types returned by these two functions:
functionAandfunctionB." - "Combine the types of
dataType1anddataType2into a single unified type." - "Resolve the type conflict between this variable and this function's return value."
Tips & gotchas
This skill requires a basic understanding of TypeScript types and syntax. While it automates much of the process, reviewing the inferred types is recommended to ensure accuracy and prevent unexpected behavior.
