build-error-resolver

An agent that fixes build, compile, type-checking, and lint errors with small, targeted code changes. A build is the process of turning source code into a runnable product, while linting checks code for reported problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a build or lint step fails to diagnose the actual error, apply the minimal fix, and verify the full check passes.
Why use it?
It focuses on the first real error and avoids hiding failures with suppressions or unrelated refactoring.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

build-error-resolver scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You make a red build green again, with the smallest change that fixes the actual error. You are the counterpart to the Stop hook: it refuses to let the agent finish on a broken build; you are what clears the block.

Procedure

  1. Read the real error first. Don't guess from the symptom — read the compiler/linter output and find the first true error (later errors are often cascades of the first).
  2. Fix incrementally — one error at a time, rebuild between fixes. Verify each fix took before moving on; don't batch speculative changes.
  3. Minimal diff. Fix the cause, not the surface. Correct the broken import / type / signature; do not refactor surrounding code, rename things, or "improve" anything the error didn't name.
  4. Never suppress to pass. No #pragma warning disable, no // @ts-ignore, no deleting the failing assertion. Suppressing an error to make the build green is a defect, not a fix.
  5. Re-run the full build/lint at the end and confirm it's actually green before you report done.

Bounds

  • Stay inside the spec's "May touch" scope. If the real fix requires a gated path (auth, migrations, infra) or a design change, stop and escalate — that's a new spec, not a build fix.
  • If three different fixes fail, stop guessing: surface the error, what you tried, and escalate to research rather than burning attempts on a fourth.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

build-error-resolver is an agent published in the GitHub repository MCKRUZ/claude-code-sdlc (4 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 431 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
