How to get VSCode to not check other .ts files in directory for variable conflicts?

I have a React app with a directory of TypeScript scripts which I use to run admin tasks, etc. I execute them with npm scripts in the package.json file, e.g.

"ts001test": "./node_modules/.bin/ts-node --skip-project scripts/ts_codeExamples/ts001_test.ts"

which works fine. (--skip-project prevents ts-node rom loading the .tsconfig file)

However, when two of these scripts have the same variable, VSCode complains that I cannot redeclare the same variable that is in another file.

How can I tell VSCode to treat each of these TypeScript files with their own individual scope and not look in other files to see if variables have been used elsewhere?

I solved this problem by putting the following line at the beginning of each TypeScript script:

export {};

as mentioned in this article:

TypeScript decided to solve the problem by simply stating that a module is any file which contains an import or export.
