My take on a minimal template for typescript projects.

npm run dist     # build & browserify (for using in vanilla js)
npm run build    # build only (for developemnt)
npm run bundle   # browserify only

1. npm init (you will probably want to do git init and add .gitignore as well)
2. npm install --save-dev typescript browserify
3. ./node_modules/.bin/tsc --init
4. Edit the newly created tsconfig.json file, uncomment the "declaration" and "outDir" line, set "outDir" to be "./lib".
5. Edit package.json to contain the following "script"s:

  "scripts": {
    "dist": "npm run build && npm run bundle",
    "build": "./node_modules/.bin/tsc",
    "bundle": "./node_modules/.bin/browserify  ./lib/index.js --s [moduleName] -o ./dist/bundle.js",
  },

where [modunleName] should be replaced with the name you want the bundled result (./dist/bundle.js) to use when creating the module instance. Also, feel free to change the ./dist/bundle.js part if you would like to use other file names.

6. Set "main" in package.json to be ./lib/index.js.
7. npm run build your package, and add the "typing" field in package.json.

Just switch out occurences of index with [your name here] in package.json and it should work.
