airig: Skill for Claude Code

nostics

Every error condition becomes a typed Diagnostic (extends Error) with a stable code, docs URL, and actionable fix. Serializable via toJSON().

Diagnostic: name (the code), message/why (interpolated text), fix?, docs?, sources? ('file:line:column'), cause?, toJSON(). Throw it, catch it with instanceof Diagnostic, send toJSON() across process boundaries.

defineDiagnostics

Returns one callable handle per code. Calling a handle builds a fresh Diagnostic, fires every reporter in order, and returns it. throw the return value to raise (reporters still run, so a thrown diagnostic also reports).

import { createConsoleReporter, defineDiagnostics } from 'nostics'

const diagnostics = /*#__PURE__*/ defineDiagnostics({
  docsBase: (code) => `https://nuxt.com/e/${code.replace('NUXT_', '').toLowerCase()}`,
  reporters: [/*#__PURE__*/ createConsoleReporter()],
  codes: {
    NUXT_B1001: {
      why: 'Could not compile template.',
      fix: 'Check the template for syntax errors.',
    },
    NUXT_B2011: {
      why: (p: { src: string }) => `Invalid plugin "${p.src}". src option is required.`,
      fix: 'Pass a string path or an object with a `src` to `addPlugin()`.',
    },
    NUXT_W9001: { why: 'message', docs: false }, // per-code: string overrides docsBase, false opts out
  },
})

• docsBase string | (code) => string | undefined: string appends /${code.toLowerCase()}; function returns the full URL (or undefined to omit).
• codes: each definition needs why (string | (params) => string, the only required field, becomes Error.message); optional fix (string | (params) => string) and docs (string | false).
• reporters: fired on every call; optional. Their options types are intersected; required reporter options become required at the call site. Omit it (or pass []) for a catalog whose codes are only ever thrown: the thrown Diagnostic already carries the message, so a console reporter would print it once and surface it again from the uncaught error, a visible duplicate. Keep report-only warnings and fatal throws in separate catalogs when one needs a reporter and the other does not.
• Param inference: params from why and fix are intersected and required at the call site. If why needs { src } and fix needs { date }, the call requires { src, date }.
