name: validate-typescript description: Run TypeScript compiler type-checking (tsc --noEmit) to validate type safety and catch type errors. Returns structured output with error counts, categories (type/syntax/import errors), and affected files. Used for quality gates and pre-commit validation.

Executes TypeScript compiler in type-check mode to validate type safety without emitting files.

Usage

This skill runs tsc --noEmit and returns structured validation results.
