typescript

typescript is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kid-sid/codex-spellbook. It costs 47 tokens per session (649 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

TypeScript guidance for writing safer applications, checking data at runtime, modelling different states, choosing module formats, and testing with Vitest.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when configuring a TypeScript service, validating request data, replacing any, modelling alternative outcomes, setting up path aliases, or writing Vitest tests.
Why use it?
It helps prevent invalid data and unclear error handling from spreading through a codebase, while reducing reliance on unsafe any types.

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 5d 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

Use the type system aggressively at compile time and Zod at runtime so invalid states are hard to represent and easy to reject.

When to Activate

  • Configure a new TypeScript service
  • Add request parsing or input validation
  • Replace any in an existing module
  • Model variant-heavy state or workflow results
  • Choose ESM or CJS for a package
  • Introduce path aliases in a growing codebase
  • Write or review Vitest suites

Compiler and Validation

Setting Expectation
strict true
noUncheckedIndexedAccess enabled
exactOptionalPropertyTypes enabled when practical
moduleResolution aligned to runtime and bundler

BAD

const body = req.body as CreateUserInput;

GOOD

const CreateUserSchema = z.object({
  email: z.string().email(),
  name: z.string().min(1),
});

const body = CreateUserSchema.parse(req.body);

Type Modeling

Problem Preferred Avoid
Heterogeneous state Discriminated union Optional field soup
External JSON unknown then parse any
Recoverable failure Result<T, E> style return Throwing for normal control flow

BAD

type Payment = {
  status?: "pending" | "paid";
  error?: string;
  receiptUrl?: string;
};

GOOD

type Payment =
  | { status: "pending" }
  | { status: "paid"; receiptUrl: string }
  | { status: "failed"; error: string };

Modules and Testing

Situation Choice
New Node 20+ service ESM
Legacy toolchain locked to CJS CJS until migration is funded
Mixed environment Hide format behind build output boundary
Preferred Avoid
Stable aliases like @/domain/user Deep relative imports like ../../../../user
Match runtime and TS config Compile-only aliases that break at runtime
Rule Why
Co-locate or mirror test files consistently Easier navigation
Use vi.mock only at unstable boundaries Preserve real type interactions
Keep fake timers explicit Avoid hidden temporal coupling

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 kid-sid/codex-spellbook (21 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 649 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
