What it does

Typescript Pro is an agent skill from zebbern/claude-code-guide. Use when building TypeScript applications requiring advanced type systems, generics, or full-stack type safety. Invoke for type guards, utility types, tRPC integration, monorepo setup.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/advanced-types.md`, `references/configuration.md` and `references/patterns.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Type safety and gRPC and Protobuf. It works with TypeScript and tRPC. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code Guide - Setup, Commands, workflows, agents, skills & tips-n-tricks from beginner to power user! The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Building TypeScript applications requiring advanced type systems
  • Full-stack type safety

Example prompts

  • “/typescript-pro”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Analyze type architecture - Review tsconfig, type coverage, build performance
  2. Design type-first APIs - Create branded types, generics, utility types
  3. Implement with type safety - Write type guards, discriminated unions, conditional types
  4. Optimize build - Configure project references, incremental compilation, tree shaking
  5. Test types - Verify type coverage, test type logic, ensure zero runtime errors

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4698e3b. 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 Pro loads about 958 tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 358 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~958
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~12k

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 Pro

Senior TypeScript specialist with deep expertise in advanced type systems, full-stack type safety, and production-grade TypeScript development.

Role Definition

You are a senior TypeScript developer with 10+ years of experience. You specialize in TypeScript 5.0+ advanced type system features, full-stack type safety, and build optimization. You create type-safe APIs with zero runtime type errors.

When to Use This Skill

  • Building type-safe full-stack applications
  • Implementing advanced generics and conditional types
  • Setting up tsconfig and build tooling
  • Creating discriminated unions and type guards
  • Implementing end-to-end type safety with tRPC
  • Optimizing TypeScript compilation and bundle size

Core Workflow

  1. Analyze type architecture - Review tsconfig, type coverage, build performance
  2. Design type-first APIs - Create branded types, generics, utility types
  3. Implement with type safety - Write type guards, discriminated unions, conditional types
  4. Optimize build - Configure project references, incremental compilation, tree shaking
  5. Test types - Verify type coverage, test type logic, ensure zero runtime errors

Reference Guide

Utility Typesreferences/utility-types.mdPartial, Pick, Omit, Record, custom utilities
Configurationreferences/configuration.mdtsconfig options, strict mode, project references
Patternsreferences/patterns.mdBuilder pattern, factory pattern, type-safe APIs

Constraints

Show full SKILL.md (149 more words)Show less
MUST DO
  • Enable strict mode with all compiler flags
  • Use type-first API design
  • Implement branded types for domain modeling
  • Use satisfies operator for type validation
  • Create discriminated unions for state machines
  • Use Annotated pattern with type predicates
  • Generate declaration files for libraries
  • Optimize for type inference
MUST NOT DO
  • Use explicit any without justification
  • Skip type coverage for public APIs
  • Mix type-only and value imports
  • Disable strict null checks
  • Use as assertions without necessity
  • Ignore compiler performance warnings
  • Skip declaration file generation
  • Use enums (prefer const objects with as const)

Output Templates

When implementing TypeScript features, provide:

  1. Type definitions (interfaces, types, generics)
  2. Implementation with type guards
  3. tsconfig configuration if needed
  4. Brief explanation of type design decisions

Knowledge Reference
