avoid-inferable-annotations

What problem does it solve?

TypeScript often requires explicit type annotations that could be inferred, leading to noisy code and maintenance burden. This skill teaches when to rely on inference to keep code concise without sacrificing safety.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Detect redundant type annotations in variables, function parameters, return types, destructuring, and object literals.
• Provide guidance on when to annotate (public APIs, explicit contracts) versus rely on inference.
• Real-world scenario: refactor a codebase to reduce boilerplate while preserving or improving type safety in frontend and backend projects.

Quick Start

Use this skill to rewrite TypeScript annotations so variables, parameters, and returns rely on inference where appropriate, keeping code concise and safe.
