temporal-mcp-server: Skill for Claude Code

ts-builds-template

Overview

This skill helps you bootstrap new TypeScript libraries from the ts-builds-template. It covers cloning, customizing, developing, and publishing a new library.

For detailed tooling configuration (tsdown, Vitest, ESLint, Prettier, TypeScript), migration guides, and standardization of existing projects, see the ts-builds skill.

When to Use This Skill

• Creating a new TypeScript library or npm package from this template
• Customizing the template for a new project (package.json, README, etc.)
• Understanding the template's project structure and dev workflow
• Publishing a new library to npm for the first time

Quick Start

# Clone the template
git clone https://github.com/jordanburke/ts-builds-template.git my-library
cd my-library

# Remove template's git history
rm -rf .git
git init

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Validate everything works
pnpm validate

See references/template-setup.md for the full customization checklist.

Customization Checklist

After cloning, update these files for your new library:

• package.json — name, description, version, repository URL, keywords, author, license
• README.md — describe your library, installation, usage examples, update npm badge to your package name
• README npm badge — update ts-builds-template in the badge URLs to your package name:

  [![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/YOUR-PACKAGE-NAME.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/YOUR-PACKAGE-NAME)
  

• CLAUDE.md — project overview, architecture notes, custom workflows
• LICENSE — update if not using MIT
• src/index.ts — replace template code with your library's public API
• test/*.spec.ts — replace template tests
