build-fix

A procedure for repairing failed builds, TypeScript errors, and compilation problems with the smallest possible code change.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps fix compiler errors, missing modules, import or export problems, package mismatches, configuration errors, and failing CI builds.
Why use it?
It keeps a build fix focused, avoiding unrelated refactoring or architecture changes while the build is broken.

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-fix 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.

Build Fix

Overview

Build errors block everything. Fix them fast, fix them small, fix nothing else.

Core principle: Fix ONLY what is broken. A build fix is not an opportunity to refactor, add features, or improve architecture. Touch the minimum lines required to restore a passing build.

Violating the letter of this process is violating the spirit of build fixing.

The Iron Law

MINIMAL DIFF, NO ARCHITECTURE CHANGES — FIX WHAT'S BROKEN, NOTHING MORE

If your diff touches lines unrelated to the error, you are not build-fixing. You are refactoring. Stop.

No exceptions:

  • "While I'm here, I'll clean up..." → No. Separate PR.
  • "This would be better as..." → No. Separate issue.
  • "The real problem is the architecture..." → No. File an issue, fix the build now.

When to Use

Use for ANY build/compilation failure:

  • TypeScript compiler errors (tsc --noEmit failures)
  • Import/export resolution errors
  • Dependency version mismatches or missing packages
  • Configuration errors (tsconfig, webpack, vite, etc.)
  • CI/CD build pipeline failures
  • Module not found errors

Use this ESPECIALLY when:

  • Build is red and blocking the team
  • CI pipeline is failing on compilation
  • Dependency update broke the build
  • Merge conflict left broken imports

Do NOT use when:

  • Tests fail but build succeeds → use systematic-debugging
  • You want to improve code quality → use refactoring
  • You want to add features → use brainstorming + TDD
  • Runtime errors, not compile-time → use error-analysis

Error Classification

First, classify the build error:

Class Symptoms Typical Minimal Fix
TypeScript Error TS2345, TS2339, TS7006, TS2532 Add type annotation, null check, or correct type
Import Error Cannot find module, has no exported member Fix path, add missing export, correct import name
Dependency Error Version mismatch, missing peer dep, lockfile conflict Align version, install missing package
Config Error tsconfig.json invalid, env var missing, wrong target Fix config value, add missing variable
Syntax Error Unexpected token, missing bracket Fix syntax at reported location

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-fix is a skill published in the GitHub repository JeremyDev87/codingbuddy (31 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 2,020 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
