check-compiler-errors — Claude Code skill: catch and fix type failures
This skill runs your project's compile and type-check commands, groups errors by file and category, then fixes the highest-confidence issues automatically. Useful when type errors are blocking local validation or CI.
npx skills add cursor/plugins --skill check-compiler-errors -a claude-codeWhat check-compiler-errors does
The skill follows three steps: it runs your project's compile and type-check commands, collects errors and groups them by file and category, then attempts to fix the most obvious problems and reruns the checks.
Output shows the current compile and type-check status, a full error summary mapped to files, and which issues were fixed versus which remain. The skill keeps going until checks pass or hits a blocker that needs manual attention.
What it helps with
- find all type errors across a project in one pass
- identify which files have compilation failures
- automatically fix common type-checking issues
- track progress while resolving multiple errors
Example prompts for the agent
- Run type checks and show me all errors grouped by file
- Compile the project and fix errors you can resolve automatically
- Run check-compiler-errors and focus on the critical issues
