🧙♀️ Move Fast and Break Nothing. End-to-end typesafe APIs made easy.
tRPC is an agent skill that enables AI coding assistants to generate better end-to-end typesafe API code without schemas or code generation. It provides type-safe patterns for building APIs where the client gets full autocompletion and type safety without importing server code, only type declarations. The skill helps AI agents understand tRPC's conventions for React.js, Next.js, Express.js, Fastify, and other frameworks, including features like request batching, subscriptions, and zero-dependency implementations.
Key Features
Use Cases
- 01Building type-safe full-stack Next.js applications with Prisma database integration
- 02Creating APIs for React applications that require compile-time type checking
- 03Migrating existing REST or GraphQL APIs to type-safe endpoints without code generation overhead
- 04Developing real-time features with subscriptions in Node.js applications
- 05Implementing batched API requests to reduce network overhead in client applications
- 06Generating robust API code with AI assistants that understand tRPC patterns and conventions

trpc — FAQ
What is the tRPC agent skill?+
The tRPC agent skill is a code generation assistant for AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. It teaches these AI tools to generate proper end-to-end type-safe APIs using tRPC conventions, without requiring schemas or code generation steps.
How do I install the tRPC skill for AI coding agents?+
Run 'npx @tanstack/intent@latest install' in your project directory. This command installs the tRPC skill configuration that your AI coding agent can reference when generating code.
Which AI coding assistants support the tRPC skill?+
The tRPC skill works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and other AI coding agents that support the TanStack Intent skill format.
Do I need API keys or special prerequisites to use tRPC?+
No API keys are required for tRPC itself. You only need Node.js and a package manager (npm, yarn, pnpm, or bun). For the AI agent skill installation, you need an AI coding assistant that supports skill integration.
Is tRPC free to use?+
Yes, tRPC is open source and released under the MIT License, making it free for both personal and commercial use.
Can I use tRPC with frameworks other than Next.js?+
Yes, tRPC provides official adapters for React.js, Next.js, Express.js, and Fastify, plus many community adapters for other frameworks. While not tied to any specific framework, it integrates particularly well with TypeScript-based stacks.
