SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Build failures, compiler errors, and toolchain misconfigurations block development progress and often require tedious manual diagnosis. This Skill automates the reproduce-diagnose-fix-verify loop so broken builds get resolved systematically. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Build Failure Diagnosis: Reproduces the failing build, identifies the root cause, and applies a minimal fix. - Type Error Resolution: Fixes type errors that block compilation or type-checking steps. - Toolchain Troubleshooting: Diagnoses dependency and toolchain issues, iterating until the build exits with code 0. - Use Case: You paste a compiler error or say "fix build" — the agent runs the build command, traces the failure to its root cause, applies a minimal fix, verifies the build passes, and records evidence of the successful run. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to fix the build by pasting the compiler error or describing the failing build command.

Frequently Asked Questions about hephaestus

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix a broken build automatically?

Invoke the skill with the failing build command or paste the compiler error. It reproduces the failure, diagnoses the root cause, applies a minimal fix, and re-runs the build until it exits with code 0.

How to fix type errors blocking compilation?

Pass the type error output or a description of the issue as the argument. The agent traces the type errors to their source, applies targeted fixes, and verifies the type check or compile step passes.

Can it diagnose dependency and toolchain issues?

Yes, the workflow covers dependency and toolchain diagnosis. When no specific issue is given, it runs the build command to discover failures, then identifies whether the cause is code, dependencies, or toolchain configuration.

What happens if the build still fails after a fix?

The skill repeats its workflow — reproduce, diagnose root cause, apply minimal fix, verify — in a loop until the build command exits with code 0, rather than stopping after a single attempt.

When should I not use an automated build fixer?

Avoid it when failures stem from unclear requirements or architectural decisions rather than concrete errors. The skill targets reproducible build, type, and toolchain failures, not design-level problems requiring human judgment.
