Improve Types

Improve Types Skill

Trigger Phrases

This skill is automatically triggered when the user:

• Asks to "create types", "define types", or "add types"
• Requests to "improve type safety" or "fix type errors"
• Wants to "create type definitions" or "add TypeScript types"
• Mentions "type guards", "type inference", or "type narrowing"
• Asks about "shared types" or "type consistency"
• Mentions "complex types", "generics", or "utility types"

Delegation Instructions

When this skill is triggered:

1. CRITICAL: Pass ALL collected information - Include every answer, decision, and preference collected from the user
2. Delegate to the type-specialist agent with complete context
3. Include ALL user answers about:
   • Type requirements and structure
   • Type safety goals
   • Shared type needs (frontend/backend)
   • Complex type requirements
4. Provide existing type definitions
5. Include any constraints or requirements

Context to Pass (MUST INCLUDE ALL)

• ALL User Answers: Every answer collected during information gathering:
  • Type structure and properties
  • Type safety requirements
  • Shared type needs
  • Complex type scenarios
• User Request: The original request for type definitions
• Existing Types: Current type definitions in codebase
• Usage Context: Where types will be used (frontend/backend)
• Project Standards: TypeScript conventions from CLAUDE.md
• Type Safety Goals: What type safety improvements are needed

IMPORTANT: Never delegate without passing ALL collected information. The agent needs complete context to work correctly.

Agent Responsibilities

The type-specialist agent will:

1. Analyze type requirements
2. Create comprehensive type definitions
3. Improve type safety across codebase
4. Handle complex types (generics, conditional types)
5. Create shared types for frontend/backend
6. Create type guards if needed
7. Ensure type consistency

Usage Examples

Example 1: Create Types

User: "Create TypeScript types for the user model"

Delegation: Delegate to type-specialist with:

• Model: User
• Properties: id, name, email, etc.
• Context: Where it will be used

Example 2: Improve Type Safety

User: "Improve type safety in the API layer"

Delegation: Delegate to type-specialist with:

• Target: API layer
• Current issues: Any type errors or any usage
• Goals: Full type safety

Example 3: Shared Types

User: "Create types shared between frontend and backend"

Delegation: Delegate to type-specialist with:

• Types needed: User, ApiResponse, etc.
• Context: Frontend and backend usage

Best Practices

• ALWAYS pass ALL collected information - Never omit any user answers or decisions
• Provide existing type context
• Specify type safety goals
• Include usage context
• Consider shared type needs
• Maintain context consistency across all delegations
