dart-seal-type-hierarchies

dart-seal-type-hierarchies is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kevmoo/dash_skills. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,305 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Dart code review guide for marking a closed group of related types as sealed, so the compiler can require every type case to be handled.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing Dart type hierarchies, replacing type checks with complete switch statements, or deciding whether external code should be allowed to add subtypes.
Why use it?
It helps prevent missing cases from failing silently, while warning about library restrictions and breaking changes to public APIs.

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

dart-seal-type-hierarchies 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.

Seal Type Hierarchies

1. When to use this skill

Use this skill when:

  • A package declares an abstract base type whose subtypes are all defined in the same library, but the base type is not marked sealed.
  • Code branches over the members of such a hierarchy with is checks or a non-exhaustive switch, so adding a subtype later fails silently at runtime instead of loudly at compile time.
  • Reviewing a new type hierarchy and deciding whether it should be open to external subtyping.

When NOT to use (Abstention Guardrails)

Do NOT seal a type when:

  • Subtypes span multiple libraries: sealed requires every direct subtype to be declared in the same library as the base type. If subtypes live in other files (and are not part of the same library), the code will not compile. Either move them or leave the hierarchy open.
  • The type is public API and external extension is intended: Sealing a type exported from a published package is a breaking change for any downstream package that extends or implements it. Plugin interfaces, visitor bases, and extension points are meant to be open. Do not seal them to win exhaustiveness.
  • The base type is concrete and instantiated: sealed implies abstract. If callers construct the base type directly, sealing it breaks them, and the fix is a larger refactor than this skill covers.
  • Fewer than two subtypes: A single subtype is specialization, not an algebraic hierarchy. Exhaustiveness checking buys nothing.
  • SDK constraint below 3.0.0: Class modifiers do not exist before Dart 3. Check environment.sdk in pubspec.yaml first.

2. Why sealing is the correctness move

The value is not switch syntax. It is that the compiler starts rejecting incomplete branching:

seal the hierarchy -> exhaustiveness checking -> adding a subtype becomes
a compile error at every switch, instead of a silent fallthrough

An unsealed hierarchy with is cascades is not wrong today. It becomes wrong the moment someone adds a subtype, and nothing tells them which call sites they missed. Sealing is prophylactic: it converts a future runtime bug into a present-day compile error.

dart-seal-type-hierarchies is a skill published in the GitHub repository kevmoo/dash_skills (147 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 1,305 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-13.
