What it does

Typescript Docs is an agent skill from giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit. Generates comprehensive TypeScript documentation using JSDoc, TypeDoc, and multi-layered documentation patterns for different audiences. Use when creating API documentation, architectural decision records (ADRs), code examples, and framework-specific patterns for NestJS, Express, React, Angular, and Vue.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `references/adr-patterns.md`, `references/examples.md` and `references/framework-patterns.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Technical documentation and Architecture decision records. It works with TypeScript, NestJS, Angular and React. The repository describes itself as: Modular plugin marketplace for Claude Code and agentic CLIs, with validated, spec-driven skills, agents, commands, and workflows for Java, TypeScript, Python, PHP, AWS, and AI. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating API documentation
  • Architectural decision records (ADRs)
  • Framework-specific patterns for NestJS

Example prompts

  • “Use the typescript-docs skill to generate comprehensive TypeScript documentation using JSDoc, TypeDoc, and multi-layered documentation patterns for…”
  • “/typescript-docs”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Configure TypeDoc
  2. Add JSDoc Comments
  3. Create an ADR
  4. Set Up CI/CD Pipeline
  5. Validate Documentation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fe73fb3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash
    • Grep
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • eslint
    • npm

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • tools.ietf.org

    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 Docs loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~22k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 406 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~22k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob

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.

TypeScript Documentation

Generate production-ready TypeScript documentation with layered architecture for multiple audiences. Supports API docs with TypeDoc, ADRs, and framework-specific patterns.

Overview

Use JSDoc annotations for inline documentation, TypeDoc for API reference generation, and ADRs for tracking design choices.

Key capabilities:

  • TypeDoc configuration and API documentation generation
  • JSDoc patterns for all TypeScript constructs
  • ADR creation and maintenance
  • Framework-specific patterns (NestJS, React, Express, Angular, Vue)
  • ESLint validation rules for documentation quality
  • GitHub Actions pipeline setup

When to Use

Use this skill when creating API documentation, architectural decision records, code examples, or framework-specific patterns for NestJS, Express, React, Angular, or Vue.

Quick Reference

ToolPurposeCommand
TypeDocAPI documentation generationnpx typedoc

JSDoc Tags
TagUse Case
@paramDocument parameters
@returnsDocument return values
@throwsDocument error conditions
@exampleProvide code examples
@remarksAdd implementation notes
@seeCross-reference related items
@deprecatedMark deprecated APIs

Instructions

1. Configure TypeDoc
bash
npm install --save-dev typedoc typedoc-plugin-markdown
json
{
  "entryPoints": ["src/index.ts"],
  "out": "docs/api",
  "theme": "markdown",
  "excludePrivate": true,
  "readme": "README.md"
}
2. Add JSDoc Comments
typescript
/**
 * Service for managing user authentication
 *
 * @remarks
 * Handles JWT-based authentication with bcrypt password hashing.
 *
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * const authService = new AuthService(config);
 * const token = await authService.login(email, password);
 * ```
 *
 * @security
 * - Passwords hashed with bcrypt (cost factor 12)
 * - JWT tokens signed with RS256
 */
@Injectable()
export class AuthService {
  /**
   * Authenticates a user and returns access tokens
   * @param credentials - User login credentials
   * @returns Authentication result with tokens
   * @throws {InvalidCredentialsError} If credentials are invalid
   */
  async login(credentials: LoginCredentials): Promise<AuthResult> {
    // Implementation
  }
}
3. Create an ADR
markdown
# ADR-001: TypeScript Strict Mode Configuration

## Status
Accepted

## Context
What is the issue motivating this decision?

## Decision
What change are we proposing?

## Consequences
What becomes easier or more difficult?
4. Set Up CI/CD Pipeline
yaml
name: Documentation
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
    paths: ['src/**', 'docs/**']

jobs:
  generate-docs:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: '20'
          cache: 'npm'
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm run docs:generate
      - run: npm run docs:validate
5. Validate Documentation
json
{
  "rules": {
    "jsdoc/require-description": "error",
    "jsdoc/require-param-description": "error",
    "jsdoc/require-returns-description": "error",
    "jsdoc/require-example": "warn"
  }
}

If validation fails: review ESLint errors, fix JSDoc comments (add missing descriptions, add @param/@returns/@throws where absent), re-run eslint --ext .ts src/ until all errors pass before committing.

Examples

Documenting a React Hook
typescript
/**
 * Custom hook for fetching paginated data
 *
 * @remarks
 * This hook manages loading states, error handling, and automatic
 * refetching when the page or filter changes.
 *
 * @example
 * ```tsx
 * function UserList() {
 *   const { data, isLoading, error } = usePaginatedData('/api/users', {
 *     page: currentPage,
 *     limit: 10
 *   });
 *
 *   if (isLoading) return <Spinner />;
 *   if (error) return <ErrorMessage error={error} />;
 *   return <UserTable users={data.items} />;
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * @param endpoint - API endpoint to fetch from
 * @param options - Pagination and filter options
 * @returns Paginated response with items and metadata
 */
export function usePaginatedData<T>(
  endpoint: string,
  options: PaginationOptions
): UsePaginatedDataResult<T> {
  // Implementation
}
Documenting a Utility Function
typescript
/**
 * Validates email addresses using RFC 5322 specification
 *
 * @param email - Email address to validate
 * @returns True if email format is valid
 *
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * isValidEmail('user@example.com'); // true
 * isValidEmail('invalid-email');      // false
 * ```
 *
 * @performance
 * O(n) where n is the email string length
 *
 * @see {@link https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322} RFC 5322 Specification
 */
export function isValidEmail(email: string): boolean {
  const emailRegex = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/;
  return emailRegex.test(email);
}
NestJS Controller Documentation
typescript
/**
 * REST API endpoints for user management
 *
 * @remarks
 * All endpoints require authentication via Bearer token.
 * Rate limiting: 100 requests per minute per user.
 *
 * @example
 * ```bash
 * curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" https://api.example.com/users/123
 * ```
 *
 * @security
 * - All endpoints use HTTPS
 * - JWT tokens expire after 1 hour
 * - Sensitive data is redacted from logs
 */
@Controller('users')
export class UsersController {
  /**
   * Retrieves a user by ID
   * @param id - User UUID
   * @returns User profile (password excluded)
   */
  @Get(':id')
  async getUser(@Param('id') id: string): Promise<UserProfile> {
    // Implementation
  }
}

Best Practices

  1. Document Public APIs: All public methods, classes, and interfaces
  2. Use @example: Provide runnable examples for complex functions
  3. Include @throws: Document all possible errors
  4. Add @see: Cross-reference related functions/types
  5. Use @remarks: Add implementation details and notes
  6. Document Generics: Explain generic constraints and usage
  7. Include Performance Notes: Document time/space complexity
  8. Add Security Warnings: Highlight security considerations
  9. Keep Updated: Update docs when code changes
  10. Don't document obvious code: Focus on why, not what

Constraints and Warnings

  • Private Members: Use @private or exclude from TypeDoc output
  • Complex Types: Document generic constraints and type parameters
  • Breaking Changes: Use @deprecated with migration guidance
  • Security Info: Never include secrets or credentials in documentation
  • Link Validity: Ensure @see references point to valid locations
  • Example Code: All examples should be runnable and tested
  • Versioning: Keep documentation in sync with code versions

Questions about Typescript Docs

What does Typescript Docs do?

Generates comprehensive TypeScript documentation using JSDoc, TypeDoc, and multi-layered documentation patterns for different audiences. Typescript Docs is an agent skill from giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit. Generates comprehensive TypeScript documentation using JSDoc, TypeDoc, and multi-layered documentation patterns for different audiences.

When should I use Typescript Docs?

Typescript Docs fits situations like: creating API documentation; architectural decision records (ADRs); framework-specific patterns for NestJS.

How do I install Typescript Docs in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --skill typescript-docs -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/developer-kit-typescript/skills/typescript-docs in giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit) into .claude/skills/typescript-docs in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Typescript Docs in Codex?

Run `npx skills add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --skill typescript-docs -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/developer-kit-typescript/skills/typescript-docs in giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit) into .agents/skills/typescript-docs in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Typescript Docs in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --skill typescript-docs -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/typescript-docs, .gemini/skills/typescript-docs, .github/skills/typescript-docs and .opencode/skills/typescript-docs in your project.

What does Typescript Docs need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Typescript Docs needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npx, eslint and npm). Our summary lists: Node.js. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob.

Does Typescript Docs access the network?

SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: tools.ietf.org; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Typescript Docs safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Typescript Docs use?

Typescript Docs is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Typescript Docs use?

About 2.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.2k 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 20k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Typescript Docs?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Typescript Docs: Creating Docs Code Examples (handsontable/handsontable, 22k stars), Fe Tools Template Recommender (MichealWayne/fe-tools, 207 stars), React Render Types Composition (HorusGoul/eslint-plugin-react-render-types, 111 stars) and Code to PRD (alirezarezvani/claude-skills, 28k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Typescript Docs?

giuseppe-trisciuoglio (a GitHub user) maintains it in giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit, which has 356 GitHub stars. The repository holds 115 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on September 10, 2026.
