SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When a build, compilation, or type‑check fails, developers waste time parsing noisy logs to locate the root cause. This skill automates diagnosis and applies the minimal change needed to achieve a green build.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Error Capture: Executes the build command and records the full output for analysis.
  • Root‑Cause Identification: Categorizes errors (import, type, syntax, lint, config, dependency) and isolates the first error as the likely cause.
  • Automated Fix Application: Generates precise edit commands or dependency installations to resolve the issue.
  • Verification: Re‑runs the build and test suite to confirm that the fix succeeded.
  • Use Cases: Ideal for CI pipeline failures, local build breaks after refactoring, or dependency upgrades that introduce type errors.

Quick Start

Prompt the skill to run the build, identify the first error, and apply the suggested fix.

Frequently Asked Questions about fix-build-errors

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I diagnose TypeScript build errors in a CI pipeline?

Diagnosing TypeScript build errors in a CI pipeline involves executing the build command, parsing noisy logs to categorize errors, and isolating the first failure to generate minimal fixes.

What's the best way to fix npm compilation failures after a dependency upgrade?

Fixing npm compilation failures after a dependency upgrade requires parsing error output, pinpointing root causes, and applying minimal edits or installing missing dependencies to achieve a green build.

How does automated build error diagnosis work for Node.js projects?

Automated build error diagnosis for Node.js projects works by capturing full build output, categorizing failures into import, type, syntax, lint, config, or dependency errors, and generating minimal edit commands to resolve issues.

Can I use this skill to fix type-check failures from local build breaks?

Yes, you can fix type-check failures from local build breaks by running the build command, identifying the first error, and applying the suggested fix to edit files or install missing dependencies.

Do I need source repository access to resolve static analysis build errors?

Yes, resolving static analysis build errors requires source repository access and the ability to edit files or install missing dependencies, as the skill generates precise edit commands to apply minimal fixes.

Why does my build fail after refactoring and how to fix it automatically?

Builds fail after refactoring due to introduced type, import, or syntax errors, and fixing them automatically involves re-running the build and test suite to verify that the generated minimal fix succeeded.
