How do I install the Knitwork X skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add hairyf/knitwork-x in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Knitwork X safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Independent scanners report: SkillSpector: PASS, Skill Scanner: PASS. Capability flags: makes network calls. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Knitwork X?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Knitwork X free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

File contents

knitwork-x provides programmatic code generation for JavaScript and TypeScript. It is forked from knitwork and adds comprehensive TypeScript helpers: ESM (import/export), strings, variables, classes, interfaces, functions, types, control flow (if/try/loop/switch), and serialization (object/array/map/set). All gen* functions return strings suitable for splicing into source; they are pure and do not mutate inputs.

Use this skill when an agent needs to generate code strings (e.g. for codegen tools, plugins, or dynamic module output).

Key Points

Return type: Every gen* function returns a string (code fragment).
Options: Most accept an optional options object (e.g. export, singleQuotes, indent); default to {}.
Indent: When supported, pass indent as the last parameter; use indent + " " for nested blocks.
Strings: Use genString(input, options) for quoted/escaped output so singleQuotes is respected.
Composing: Combine gen* outputs (e.g. genClass(..., [genConstructor(...)])) to build larger snippets.
