Check Compiler Errors

Checked
cursor·vlatest·backend

This skill automatically analyzes code output for common compiler errors, saving developers time and ensuring code compiles correctly.

Repository

Install on your platform

Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add cursor/plugins --skill check-compiler-errors --full-depth -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned cursor/plugins at 118e73b0e1.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill, cursor-check-compiler-errors, analyzes compiler error messages and provides concise explanations of what went wrong. It can parse complex error outputs from various compilers (though specific supported languages are not listed) and translate them into more understandable terms. The goal is to help developers quickly identify and fix issues in their code.

When to use it

  • When debugging a program and encountering cryptic compiler errors that are difficult to understand.
  • For junior developers who are learning how to interpret compiler output.
  • To speed up the development process by reducing time spent deciphering error messages.
  • In automated build pipelines to provide more informative feedback on compilation failures.

Key capabilities

  • Parses compiler error messages.
  • Provides concise explanations of errors.
  • Supports multiple compilers (specific languages not specified).

Example prompts

  • "Explain this compiler error: [paste error message here]"
  • "What does this Rust compiler error mean? [paste error message here]"
  • "Can you simplify the following compilation error? [paste error message here]"

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on the clarity and format of the compiler error messages provided. It is not specified which compilers or programming languages are directly supported, so results may vary.
