What it does

Typescript is an agent skill from EpicenterHQ/epicenter. Apply project conventions for TypeScript types, imports, generics, factories, and runtime schemas. Use when editing .ts files or reviewing TypeScript design and tests.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `references/advanced-typescript-features.md`, `references/factory-patterns.md` and `references/project-conventions.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Type safety. It works with TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: Open-source, local-first apps.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing .ts files
  • Reviewing TypeScript design and tests

Example prompts

  • “/typescript”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9cc65c3. 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

Typescript loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~18k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,114 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~18k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,114 words (~2,171 tokens).

“Project-wide TypeScript conventions compose with narrower skills such as arktype, typebox, testing, and method-shorthand-jsdoc.”

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/typescript, .gemini/skills/typescript, .github/skills/typescript and .opencode/skills/typescript in your project.

What does Typescript need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Typescript is instructions for the agent only.

How many tokens does Typescript use?

About 2.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 16k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
