What it does

Implement Type Annotations is an agent skill from ambient-code/agentready. Add comprehensive type hints to Python/TypeScript code to improve IDE support, catch errors early, and enable better AI code understanding

Its SKILL.md is about 230 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Type safety and Proposals and quotes. It works with Python and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: Repo Optimizer: Assess git repositories for AI-assisted development readiness. Submit your score! The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Type safety
  • Tasks that involve Proposals and quotes

Example prompts

  • “/implement-type-annotations”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Review the pattern summary above
  2. Apply the pattern to your repository
  3. Verify the implementation matches the examples below

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2268d6. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Implement Type Annotations loads about 231 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 83 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~231

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
