TypeScript Advanced Types

Comprehensive guidance for mastering TypeScript's advanced type system including generics, conditional types, mapped types, template literal types, and utility types for building robust, type-safe applications.

Use this skill when

• Building type-safe libraries or frameworks
• Creating reusable generic components
• Implementing complex type inference logic
• Designing type-safe API clients
• Building form validation systems
• Creating strongly-typed configuration objects
• Implementing type-safe state management
• Migrating JavaScript codebases to TypeScript

Do not use this skill when

• The task is unrelated to typescript advanced types
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

• Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
• Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
• Provide actionable steps and verification.
• If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Resources

• resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns and examples.

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

Example

Use Expect<AssertEqual<Result, Expected>> for a positive type assertion and @ts-expect-error for an intentional rejected call. Also validate API JSON at runtime; a generic response type does not inspect the returned object.
