Generate TypeScript types from JSON files using quicktype CLI. Use when user wants to create types/interfaces from JSON data, API responses, or config files.

Quicktype - JSON to Type Generator

Generate strongly-typed interfaces from JSON files or URLs.

When to Use

  • User asks to generate types from JSON
  • User wants TypeScript interfaces for API responses
  • User needs type definitions for config files
  • User mentions "quicktype" or "json to types"

Instructions

  1. Parse the input to identify:

    • File path or URL
    • Target language (default: TypeScript)
    • Output file (optional)

  2. Run the quicktype script:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/quicktype/scripts/quicktype.py <file> [--lang LANG] [--out FILE]

  1. Display the generated types in a fenced code block

  2. If --out specified, save to that file

Supported Languages

| Flag | Language | | -------- | ----------------- | | ts | TypeScript | | go | Go structs | | py | Python dataclass | | rs | Rust structs | | swift | Swift Codable | | kotlin | Kotlin data class |

Examples

Input: /quicktype api/users.json Output: TypeScript interfaces for the JSON structure

Input: /quicktype config.json --lang go Output: Go struct definitions

Input: /quicktype response.json --out src/types/api.ts Output: Types saved to specified file
