FAQPage Schema
How do I validate syntax for git-modified JavaScript and TypeScript files?

To validate syntax for git-modified files, run the test-syntax skill to rapidly check imports, semicolons, template literals, and file extensions. It targets only modified files to ensure code quality and adherence to project standards without waiting for a full build.

Can I automatically fix duplicate or malformed import statements in my code?

Yes, you can automatically fix duplicate or malformed import statements. The syntax validation skill offers automated fixing for these common issues, correcting simple formatting errors and ensuring code integrity before you commit your changes.

What's the best way to check code quality before committing modified files?

The best way to check code quality before committing is to run rapid syntax validation on modified files. This targets import statements, semicolons, and template literals, preventing bugs and ensuring code standards without the overhead of a full project build.

Does syntax validation work on both JavaScript and TypeScript file extensions?

Yes, syntax validation works on both JavaScript and TypeScript files. The process explicitly checks file extensions along with imports, semicolons, and template literals to ensure all modified code in your current git branch is syntactically sound.

Why does syntax validation only target modified files instead of the whole project?

Syntax validation targets only modified files to provide rapid feedback and prevent bugs without waiting for a full build. By focusing on git-modified changes, it quickly checks for common formatting issues and syntax errors before you commit.

When should I avoid using automated syntax fixing for import statements?

You should avoid automated syntax fixing if your project requires manual review of import statements. While it corrects simple malformed and duplicate imports automatically, complex structural issues or custom import logic may require manual intervention to ensure code integrity.
