 ## What is NPMTS?
 NPMTS is your friend when it comes to write, test, publish and document NPM modules written in TypeScript.

-### Custom behaviour
+[gulp-typings](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-typings)
-Custom behaviour can be achieved through the npmts.json config file at the root of your package.
+[gulp-browser](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-typings)
-The file must be named **npmts.json**
-
-```json
-{
-  "mode":"custom",
-  "ts":{
-    "./customdir/custom.ts":"./customcompiled.js"
-  },
-  "typings":[
-    "./customdir"
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-* **mode** can be "default" or "custom"
-* **ts** You can list as many TypeScript files as you like. The key represents the source TypeScript file, the value the output file.
-* **typings** is an array of all direcories that have a typings.json present. Uses the new typings tool from npm.
 
 > We will add more options over time.
