What is check-compiler-errors?
Executes the repository's compile and type-check commands to identify and report failures. Use this when local validation or CI is blocked by compilation or type errors.
- Runs compile and type-check commands configured in the repository
- Summarizes errors grouped by file and error category
- Prioritizes fixes by confidence level
- Re-runs checks iteratively until resolution or blocker identification
- Reports current compilation status and remaining issues

check-compiler-errors FAQ
It runs the repository's configured compile and type-check commands; the specific commands depend on your project setup (e.g., tsc for TypeScript, javac for Java, cargo check for Rust).
Errors are prioritized by confidence level, with the highest-confidence issues addressed first to maximize fix efficiency.
It identifies and applies fixes for the highest-confidence issues, but may encounter blockers that require manual intervention.
The skill relies on configured compile and type-check commands in the repository; if none exist, it cannot run.
