Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler --skill typescript- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads typescript automatically when relevant.
- 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.
Const Types Pattern (REQUIRED)
// ✅ ALWAYS: Create const object first, then extract type
const STATUS = {
ACTIVE: "active",
INACTIVE: "inactive",
PENDING: "pending",
} as const;
type Status = (typeof STATUS)[keyof typeof STATUS];
// ❌ NEVER: Direct union types
type Status = "active" | "inactive" | "pending";
Why? Single source of truth, runtime values, autocomplete, easier refactoring.
Flat Interfaces (REQUIRED)
// ✅ ALWAYS: One level depth, nested objects → dedicated interface
interface UserAddress {
street: string;
city: string;
}
interface User {
id: string;
name: string;
address: UserAddress; // Reference, not inline
}
interface Admin extends User {
permissions: string[];
}
// ❌ NEVER: Inline nested objects
interface User {
address: { street: string; city: string }; // NO!
}
Never Use any
// ✅ Use unknown for truly unknown types
function parse(input: unknown): User {
if (isUser(input)) return input;
throw new Error("Invalid input");
}
// ✅ Use generics for flexible types
function first<T>(arr: T[]): T | undefined {
return arr[0];
}
// ❌ NEVER
function parse(input: any): any { }
Utility Types
Pick<User, "id" | "name"> // Select fields
Omit<User, "id"> // Exclude fields
Partial<User> // All optional
Required<User> // All required
Readonly<User> // All readonly
Record<string, User> // Object type
Extract<Union, "a" | "b"> // Extract from union
Exclude<Union, "a"> // Exclude from union
NonNullable<T | null> // Remove null/undefined
ReturnType<typeof fn> // Function return type
Parameters<typeof fn> // Function params tuple
Type Guards
function isUser(value: unknown): value is User {
return (
typeof value === "object" &&
value !== null &&
"id" in value &&
"name" in value
);
}
Coupled Optional Props (REQUIRED)
Do not model semantically coupled props as independent optionals — this allows invalid half-states that compile but break at runtime. Use discriminated unions with never to make invalid combinations impossible.
// ❌ BEFORE: Independent optionals — half-states allowed
interface PaginationProps {
onPageChange?: (page: number) => void;
pageSize?: number;
currentPage?: number;
}
// ✅ AFTER: Discriminated union — shape is all-or-nothing
type ControlledPagination = {
controlled: true;
currentPage: number;
pageSize: number;
onPageChange: (page: number) => void;
};
type UncontrolledPagination = {
controlled: false;
currentPage?: never;
pageSize?: never;
onPageChange?: never;
};
type PaginationProps = ControlledPagination | UncontrolledPagination;
Key rule: If two or more props are only meaningful together, they belong to the same discriminated union branch. Mixing them as independent optionals shifts correctness responsibility from the type system to runtime guards.
Import Types
import type { User } from "./types";
import { createUser, type Config } from "./utils";
FAQ
What does the typescript skill do?
TypeScript strict patterns and best practices. Trigger: When implementing or refactoring TypeScript in .ts/.tsx (types, interfaces, generics, const maps, type guards, removing any, tightening unknown).
How do I install typescript?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler --skill typescript 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/typescript/ (personal) or .claude/skills/typescript/ (project).
Which AI agents can use typescript?
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 typescript 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 typescript?
It is published by prowler-cloud in prowler-cloud/prowler. It has 253 recorded installs.
