microsoft-typescript

A reference and working guide for TypeScript, a programming language that adds type checking to JavaScript. It covers current versions, documentation, APIs, and changes that may affect existing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing TypeScript files or code that imports TypeScript, especially for debugging and checking language-version behavior.
Why use it?
It helps identify TypeScript-specific errors, version changes, and recommended ways to modify typed JavaScript projects.

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

microsoft-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.

API Changes

This section documents version-specific API changes for TypeScript v5.7+, prioritizing recent major/minor releases.

  • BREAKING: ArrayBuffer no longer supertype of TypedArray types — v5.9 changed ArrayBuffer relationships; methods expecting ArrayBuffer now reject Uint8Array, Buffer, etc. Fix by accessing .buffer property or using specific Uint8Array<ArrayBuffer> types source

  • NEW: import defer * as ns from "module" — v5.9 syntax for deferred module evaluation; module loading deferred until namespace accessed, useful for conditional/lazy imports. Only supports namespace imports, not named/default exports source

  • BREAKING: TypedArray generics over ArrayBufferLike — v5.7+ made all TypedArray types generic (Uint8Array<TArrayBuffer>), breaking code passing Buffer/Uint8Array where ArrayBuffer expected. Update @types/node and specify explicit buffer type or use .buffer property source

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.

microsoft-typescript is a skill published in the GitHub repository skilld-dev/skilld (306 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 2,685 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.
