What it does

Typescript is an agent skill from vana-com/personal-server. This skill should be used when the user asks to "optimize TypeScript performance", "speed up tsc compilation", "configure tsconfig.json", "fix type errors", "improve async patterns", or encounters TS errors (TS2322, TS2339, "is not assignable to"). Also triggers on .ts, .tsx, .d.ts file work involving type definitions, module organization, or memory management. Does NOT cover TypeScript basics, framework-specific patterns, or testing.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 44 other files, including reference files (for example `references/advanced-branded-types.md`, `references/advanced-satisfies-operator.md` and `references/advanced-template-literal-types.md`).

It sits in Development, covering React components. It works with TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: TypeScript implementation of the Vana Data Portability Protocol's Personal Server. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to optimize TypeScript performance
  • Speed up tsc compilation
  • Configure tsconfig.json
  • Fix type errors

Example prompts

  • “optimize TypeScript performance”
  • “speed up tsc compilation”
  • “configure tsconfig.json”
  • “/typescript”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Type System Performance — CRITICAL
  2. Compiler Configuration — CRITICAL
  3. Async Patterns — HIGH
  4. Module Organization — HIGH
  5. Type Safety Patterns — MEDIUM-HIGH
  6. Memory Management — MEDIUM
  7. Runtime Optimization — LOW-MEDIUM
  8. Advanced Patterns — LOW

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0b67a90. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com
    • typescriptlang.org
    • v8.dev
    • nodejs.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 loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~25k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 688 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~112
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
~25k

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

Comprehensive performance optimization guide for TypeScript applications. Contains 42 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact to guide automated refactoring and code generation.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Configuring tsconfig.json for a new or existing project
  • Writing complex type definitions or generics
  • Optimizing async/await patterns and data fetching
  • Organizing modules and managing imports
  • Reviewing code for compilation or runtime performance

Can I use Typescript 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 vana-com/personal-server --skill typescript -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, .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. Our summary lists: Node.js.

Does Typescript access the network?

SKILL.md names 4 domains. As links in the text: github.com, typescriptlang.org, v8.dev and nodejs.org. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Typescript 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 Typescript use?

Typescript 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 use?

About 2.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.9k 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 23k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
