At a glance

Cross-file type resolution: type solver, ShallowFileState, ExternalTypeFrontier, canonical cache rules, macro traversal, prepared declarations

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Type Resolution is an agent skill from pikax/verter. Cross-file type resolution: type solver, ShallowFileState, ExternalTypeFrontier, canonical cache rules, macro traversal, prepared declarations

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 36 other files, including reference files (for example `references/cache-authority.md`, `references/canonical-dependency-cache.md` and `references/carrier-contracts.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Fast Rust-powered compiler, semantic extraction, and LSP for component frameworks. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/type-resolution”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e4f9d26. 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

Type Resolution loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~108k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 297 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~108k

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.

Type Resolution

Read the references below on demand for the mechanism being changed. The shared semantic query path, shallow indexing, canonical dependency cache and lazy projection contracts remain the authority for type resolution.

Each owner updates only its pre-registered reference file. Corrections to another owner's text go in the correcting owner's file as superseding notes; L4's documentation closure folds them in. The index is complete and stays unchanged as those owners land.

Questions about Type Resolution

What does Type Resolution do?

Cross-file type resolution: type solver, ShallowFileState, ExternalTypeFrontier, canonical cache rules, macro traversal, prepared declarations. Type Resolution is an agent skill from pikax/verter.

How do I install Type Resolution in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add pikax/verter --skill type-resolution -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/type-resolution in pikax/verter) into .claude/skills/type-resolution in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Type Resolution in Codex?

Run `npx skills add pikax/verter --skill type-resolution -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/type-resolution in pikax/verter) into .agents/skills/type-resolution in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Type Resolution 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 pikax/verter --skill type-resolution -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/type-resolution, .gemini/skills/type-resolution, .github/skills/type-resolution and .opencode/skills/type-resolution in your project.

What does Type Resolution need to run?

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

Does Type Resolution access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Type Resolution safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Type Resolution use?

Type Resolution 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 Type Resolution use?

About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.8k 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 107k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Type Resolution?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Type Resolution: Solver (atopile/atopile, 4k stars), Review Hog Resolution Criteria (PostHog/posthog, 40k stars), Ontology Term Resolution (K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills, 48k stars) and 3D Retina Resolution (MengTo/Skills, 6.7k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Type Resolution?

pikax (a GitHub user) maintains it in pikax/verter, which has 112 GitHub stars. The repository holds 14 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 8, 2026.
