SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides AI agents with type-aware navigation tools for TypeScript codebases, replacing inefficient and inaccurate grep/glob methods.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Precise Navigation: Find definitions, references, and types with 100% accuracy, resolving through complex module structures.
  • Codebase Understanding: Map dependencies, detect circular imports, and analyze code impact for safer refactoring.
  • Use Case: An AI agent needs to understand the implementation of a function. Instead of searching text files, it uses ts_definition to get the exact source code location and type information, drastically reducing context token usage and improving accuracy.

Quick Start

Use the tool-selection skill to find the definition of the 'createUser' symbol in the file 'src/handlers.ts'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I navigate TypeScript code semantically instead of using text search?▼

Semantic TypeScript navigation resolves exact definitions, references, and types through module structures, replacing grep and glob text searches with type-aware symbol resolution for accurate code understanding.

What is the best way to trace function calls and dependencies in a TypeScript codebase?▼

Type-aware navigation maps dependencies and traces function calls precisely, detecting circular imports and analyzing code impact to ensure refactoring safety in TypeScript codebases.

Can I find the exact source location and type information of a symbol in TypeScript?▼

Yes, semantic navigation tools resolve TypeScript symbols with 100% accuracy, providing exact source code locations and type information while drastically reducing context token usage.

Does semantic code navigation help with refactoring safety in TypeScript?▼

Semantic code navigation improves refactoring safety by mapping dependencies, detecting circular imports, and analyzing code impact through type-aware symbol resolution rather than text matching.

Why does grep return inaccurate results when searching for TypeScript definitions?▼

Grep relies on text matching, which fails to resolve complex module structures. Type-aware semantic navigation resolves definitions and references through the type system for 100% accuracy.

Do I need a typegraph to analyze code structure and circular imports in TypeScript?▼

Yes, type-aware navigation requires a typegraph to resolve symbols accurately, map dependencies, and detect circular imports for precise codebase understanding and impact analysis.
