What it does

Typescript Best Practices is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Write idiomatic TypeScript patterns for clean, maintainable code. Use when writing or refactoring TypeScript classes, functions, modules, or async logic.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/REFERENCE.md` and `references/examples.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Refactoring. It works with TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Refactoring TypeScript classes
  • Tasks that involve Refactoring

Example prompts

  • “/typescript-best-practices”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b529c2d. 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 Best Practices loads about 659 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 242 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
~659
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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.

TypeScript Best Practices

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

Implementation Guidelines

  • Naming: Use PascalCase for Classes/Types/Interfaces, camelCase for variables/functions, and UPPER_SNAKE for static constants.
  • Functions: Use arrow functions for callbacks/logic; function declaration for top-level exports. Always type public API returns.
  • Modules: Use Named exports ONLY to enable better refactoring/auto-imports.
  • Async: Use async/await with Promise.all() for parallel execution. Implement try-catch for error handling; type catch(e) as unknown and narrow before use. Avoid .then().catch() chains.
  • Classes: Explicitly use private, protected, and public modifiers. Favor composition over inheritance and dependency injection with constructor injection and interfaces over singletons for testability.
  • Type Safety: Use never for exhaustiveness checks in switch-cases.
  • Optional: Use optional chaining (?.) and nullish coalescing (??) over manual checks.
  • Imports: Enforce external packages → internal modules → relative imports order automatically via eslint-plugin-import. Use import type for interfaces/types to ensure better tree-shaking and zero runtime overhead.
  • Validation: Use Zod or Tsoa for runtime boundary validation.

Anti-Patterns

  • No Default Exports: Use named exports.
  • No Implicit Returns: Specify return types.
  • No Unused Variables: Enable noUnusedLocals.
  • No require: Use ES6 import.
  • No Empty Interfaces: Use type or non-empty interface.
  • No any: Use unknown or specific type.
  • No Unsafe Mocks: Cast with jest.Mocked<T> or as unknown as T.
  • No eslint-disable: Fix root cause; never suppress warnings.

References

See references/examples.md for Immutable Interfaces, Exhaustiveness Checking, Assertion Functions, DI Patterns, and Import Organization.

Canonical response anchors

When this skill applies, preserve the following domain terminology or equivalent concrete examples in the answer when relevant:

  • async/await
  • injection
