Does it support strict TypeScript compiler flags?

Yes, it is specifically designed to maintain compatibility with strict mode, exactOptionalPropertyTypes, and noUncheckedIndexedAccess.

When should I use the TypeScript Type Taste skill?

Use it when building libraries, complex data structures, or any API surface where you need precise type relationships and sound fallbacks for unreachable code.

What is constraint minimalism in TypeScript?

It is the practice of applying only the necessary constraints to generics to ensure type safety while preventing overly rigid structures from blocking valid inputs.

What is TypeScript Type Taste?

It is a Claude Code skill that provides expert guidance on designing advanced, robust TypeScript types with a focus on inference, soundness, and minimalism.

How does this skill improve type inference?

By aligning generics directly to input surfaces like function parameters, it ensures TypeScript can correctly infer types at the call site without requiring manual generic declarations.

API Development

Applies rigorous TypeScript type design patterns to ensure strong inference, sound fallbacks, and minimal generic constraints.

About

TypeScript Type Taste is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to help developers architect sophisticated, type-safe systems with high-quality inference. It focuses on aligning generics with input surfaces, implementing constraint minimalism, and encoding unreachable logic branches using the 'never' type. This skill is particularly useful for library authors and developers building complex API surfaces who need to maintain strict type safety under rigorous compiler configurations—such as strict mode, exactOptionalPropertyTypes, and noUncheckedIndexedAccess—without sacrificing the developer experience at the call site.
