typescript

A set of conventions for writing TypeScript code. TypeScript adds type checking to JavaScript and helps describe the data that code accepts and returns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Naming variables and functions, defining types, using schemas, typing imports, and mapping API field names consistently.
Why use it?
It makes code easier to understand and helps catch mismatched data or unclear names before runtime.

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 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 2d 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.

TypeScript

Patterns and conventions for all TypeScript code.

Types

  • import type {} for type-only imports: import type {FC} from 'react'

Naming, camelCase

All identifiers use camelCase: Zod fields, form name/id/htmlFor, props, state, params.

Exceptions (snake_case OK):

  • types/database.ts, mirrors DB column names
  • Dynamic template literal names where variable part is already lowercase
  • Environment variable names (SUPABASE_URL)

Map snake_case ↔ camelCase at API call boundaries, not in schemas or UI code.

Naming, Descriptive and Self-Documenting

Follow Apple's Swift API Design Guidelines: names should be clear at the point of use, reading like prose. Favor long, descriptive names over short or abbreviated ones. Code should be readable without consulting documentation.

  • Functions and methods: imperative verb phrases: calculateProgressPercentageFromCompletedSets, processUserOnboardingProfile
  • Parameters: role, not type: totalSeconds not n, emailAddress not s
  • Variables: what they hold: restDurationInSeconds, submitButton, weightInputValue
  • No abbreviations: spell out unless universally known (url, id, api): animationDurationInMilliseconds not animDur
  • No redundant words: availableExercises not exerciseArray, but don't sacrifice clarity for brevity

Exception, React event handlers follow handle{Action}{Element} from the react-code skill (e.g. handleClickSave, handleChangeInput), the {Element} is required, since a bare handleClick or handleChange trips react-doctor/no-generic-handler-names. The descriptive naming guidelines above apply to utilities, hooks, callbacks, and non-event-handler functions.

Read references/naming-conventions.md for extended BAD/GOOD examples of each naming pattern.

Exported Functions, Explicit Return Types

All exported functions must have explicit return types.

Exceptions:

  • Route loaders/actions (complex generics)
  • React components typed with FC<Props> (return type provided by generic)

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

typescript is a skill published in the GitHub repository gaia-react/gaia (22 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 1,124 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
