Automated summary
Defines robust TypeScript interfaces and types, syncs with backend, and enforces strict type checking.
Strengths
- Increases code robustness with strict types
- Prevents runtime errors through compile-time validation
- Improves developer collaboration with centralized types
- Ensures frontend-backend alignment via code generation
Limitations
- Can slow down initial development if overly rigid
- Requires solid TypeScript knowledge for full effectiveness
- Code generation setup may add complexity
Use at the start of a TypeScript project or when adding features that rely on structured data.
Avoid for rapid prototypes or one-off scripts where flexibility outweighs strictness.
Security analysis
SafeThis skill provides only static TypeScript guidance with no executable commands or tool invocations. It does not instruct any destructive, exfiltrating, or obfuscated actions, and falls entirely within safe advisory content.

How this analysis is madeExamples
Create TypeScript interfaces for a user object with id, username, email, and createdAt, and write a React component that displays them.Generate TypeScript types from a backend OpenAPI spec for the user endpoint and implement a fetch function with full type safety.Refactor this code to enable TypeScript strict mode, replace 'any' with proper types, and add runtime validation with Zod.name: types description: Define type-safe interfaces, sync with backend, and enforce strict checking.
Types Skill
Instructions
-
Type-safe interfaces
- Define clear TypeScript interfaces and types for data structures
- Ensure all props, state, and function parameters are typed
- Use union and literal types where appropriate
-
Sync with backend
- Keep frontend types aligned with backend API responses
- Use code generation tools (e.g., OpenAPI, Zod, or GraphQL Codegen) when possible
- Validate incoming API data against expected types
-
Strict checking
- Enable TypeScript strict mode
- Avoid using
anyor unsafe type assertions - Use type guards and runtime validation for dynamic data
Best Practices
- Keep types centralized and reusable
- Use enums or union types for fixed sets of values
- Type errors early to prevent runtime issues
- Document types for better developer collaboration
- Combine TypeScript with runtime validators for safety
Example Structure
// Backend response type
interface UserResponse {
id: string;
username: string;
email: string;
createdAt: string;
}
// Frontend props type
interface UserCardProps {
user: UserResponse;
}
// Component using typed props
const UserCard: React.FC<UserCardProps> = ({ user }) => {
return (
<div className="p-4 border rounded">
<h2>{user.username}</h2>
<p>{user.email}</p>
<small>{new Date(user.createdAt).toLocaleDateString()}</small>
</div>
);
};
// Example API fetch with type enforcement
async function fetchUsers(): Promise<UserResponse[]> {
const res = await fetch("/api/users");
const data: UserResponse[] = await res.json();
return data;
}
From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/typescript-types-mrzxuqr7/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/typescript-types-mrzxuqr7' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/typescript-types-mrzxuqr7/download' --output '.skill-downloads/typescript-types-mrzxuqr7/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/typescript-types-mrzxuqr7/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/typescript-types-mrzxuqr7/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.
The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.
Official OpenSkills installationopenskills install './.skill-downloads/typescript-types-mrzxuqr7'openskills read 'typescript-types-mrzxuqr7'Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.
For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/typescript-types-mrzxuqr7/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
React Hook Form Best Practices
Development
Master React Hook Form: avoid anti-patterns, manage subscriptions, and handle reset, dirty state, and controlled inputs correctly.
Emotion to Mantine Migration
Development
Migrate Emotion styled-components to Mantine components with style props and CSS modules. Use when converting .styled.tsx files or removing @emotion imports.
Scope Creep Detector
Development
Analyzes git diffs against a stated intent to detect scope creep, unrelated files, broad PRs, and oversized changes, then suggests keep, split, or justify actions.
