ts-library

Use when authoring TypeScript libraries or npm packages - covers project setup, package.json exports, build tooling (tsdown/unbuild), API design patterns, type inference tricks, testing, and publishing to npm. Use when bundling, configuring dual CJS/ESM output, or setting up release workflows.

Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/onmax/nuxt-skills --skill ts-library
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads ts-library automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

TypeScript Library Development

Patterns for authoring high-quality TypeScript libraries, extracted from studying unocss, shiki, unplugin, vite, vitest, vueuse, zod, trpc, drizzle-orm, and more.

When to Use

  • Starting a new TypeScript library (single or monorepo)
  • Setting up package.json exports for dual CJS/ESM
  • Configuring tsconfig for library development
  • Choosing build tools (tsdown, unbuild)
  • Designing type-safe APIs (builder, factory, plugin patterns)
  • Writing advanced TypeScript types
  • Setting up vitest for library testing
  • Configuring release workflow and CI

For Nuxt module development: use nuxt-modules skill

Loading Files

Consider loading these reference files based on your task:

  • references/project-setup.md - if starting a new TypeScript library project
  • references/package-exports.md - if configuring package.json exports or dual CJS/ESM
  • references/typescript-config.md - if setting up or modifying tsconfig.json
  • references/build-tooling.md - if configuring tsdown, unbuild, or build scripts
  • references/eslint-config.md - if setting up ESLint for library development
  • references/api-design.md - if designing public APIs, builder patterns, or plugin systems
  • references/type-patterns.md - if working with advanced TypeScript types or type inference
  • references/testing.md - if setting up vitest or writing tests for library code
  • references/release.md - if configuring release workflow or versioning
  • references/ci-workflows.md - if setting up GitHub Actions or CI/CD pipelines

DO NOT load all files at once. Load only what's relevant to your current task.

New Library Workflow

  1. Create project structure → load references/project-setup.md
  2. Configure package.json exports → load references/package-exports.md
  3. Set up build with tsdown → load references/build-tooling.md
  4. Verify build: pnpm build && pnpm pack --dry-run — check output includes .mjs, .cjs, .d.ts
  5. Add tests → load references/testing.md
  6. Configure release → load references/release.md

Quick Start

// package.json (minimal)
{
  "name": "my-lib",
  "type": "module",
  "exports": {
    ".": {
      "import": "./dist/index.mjs",
      "require": "./dist/index.cjs"
    }
  },
  "main": "./dist/index.cjs",
  "module": "./dist/index.mjs",
  "types": "./dist/index.d.ts",
  "files": ["dist"]
}
// tsdown.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'tsdown'

export default defineConfig({
  entry: ['src/index.ts'],
  format: ['esm', 'cjs'],
  dts: true,
})

Key Principles

  • ESM-first: "type": "module" with .mjs outputs
  • Dual format: always support both CJS and ESM consumers
  • moduleResolution: "Bundler" for modern TypeScript
  • tsdown for most builds, unbuild for complex cases
  • Smart defaults: detect environment, don't force config
  • Tree-shakeable: lazy getters, proper sideEffects: false

Token efficiency: Main skill ~300 tokens, each reference ~800-1200 tokens

FAQ

What does the ts-library skill do?

Use when authoring TypeScript libraries or npm packages - covers project setup, package.json exports, build tooling (tsdown/unbuild), API design patterns, type inference tricks, testing, and publishing to npm. Use when bundling, configuring dual CJS/ESM output, or setting up release workflows.

How do I install ts-library?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/onmax/nuxt-skills --skill ts-library in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/ts-library/ (personal) or .claude/skills/ts-library/ (project).

Which AI agents can use ts-library?

Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.

Is ts-library safe to install?

No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.

Who maintains ts-library?
