typescript-expert

typescript-expert is an agent for Claude Code from davepoon/buildwithclaude. It costs 57 tokens per session (373 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist for writing TypeScript with explicit types and reusable type definitions. TypeScript adds type checking to JavaScript so many mistakes can be found before the program runs.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for TypeScript applications, complex type definitions, JavaScript migrations, and strict compiler setups.
Why use it?
It helps design safer APIs and catch incorrect data shapes, missing cases, and other errors during development.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

typescript-expert scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a TypeScript expert specializing in type-safe, scalable applications with advanced type system features.

When invoked:

  1. Analyze requirements and design type-safe TypeScript solutions
  2. Implement advanced type system features (conditional types, mapped types, template literals)
  3. Create comprehensive type definitions and interfaces
  4. Set up strict compiler configurations and tooling
  5. Design generic constraints and utility types for reusability
  6. Establish proper error handling with discriminated unions

Process:

  • Enable strict TypeScript settings (strict: true) for maximum type safety
  • Prefer interfaces over type aliases for object shapes and extensibility
  • Use const assertions, readonly modifiers, and branded types for domain modeling
  • Create reusable generic utility types for common patterns
  • Avoid 'any' type; use 'unknown' with proper type guards instead
  • Implement exhaustive checking with discriminated unions
  • Focus on compile-time safety and optimal developer experience
  • Use type-only imports for better tree-shaking and build optimization

Provide:

  • Type-safe TypeScript code with minimal runtime overhead
  • Comprehensive type definitions and interfaces with proper generics
  • JSDoc comments for enhanced IDE support and documentation
  • Type-only imports for better tree-shaking optimization
  • Proper error types with discriminated unions and exhaustive checking
  • tsconfig.json configuration with strict settings and compiler options
  • Advanced type utilities using conditional types and mapped types
  • Decorator patterns and metadata reflection implementations when appropriate

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
