Fix ESLint Errors

Automatically fix ESLint errors by modifying code to comply with configured linting rules.

Priorities:

1. Never bypass rules - No eslint-disable comments, no rule modifications
2. Fix code to comply - Modify implementation to meet linting standards
3. Preserve functionality - Ensure fixes don't break existing behavior
4. Follow coding standards - Apply fixes aligned with project style (FP-first, explicit naming)

Workflow

Step 1: Analyze ESLint Errors

Run the analysis script to understand error distribution:

bash ./.claude/skills/fix-eslint/scripts/analyze_errors.sh

Or with file pattern:

bash ./.claude/skills/fix-eslint/scripts/analyze_errors.sh "src/**/*.ts"

This outputs:

• Total error count
• Files grouped by directory
• Directory-level breakdown

Step 2: Choose Strategy

If ≤20 errors: Proceed to Step 3 (Direct Fix) If >20 errors: Proceed to Step 4 (Parallel Fix)

---

Step 3: Direct Fix (≤20 errors)

For small error counts, fix directly without spawning agents.

Process

1. Run ESLint to get errors:

   pnpm lint [file-or-directory]
   

2. For each file with errors:

   • Read the file
   • Identify each ESLint error (rule name, line number, message)
   • Fix by modifying code to comply with the rule
   • NEVER add eslint-disable comments or modify ESLint config
   • See ./guidelines.md for detailed fixing guidelines

3. Verify each fix:

   pnpm lint <file-path>
   

4. Repeat until all errors fixed

Report

At the end, provide:

• List of files processed
• Total errors fixed
• Brief summary (e.g., "8 unused imports removed, 3 return types added, 2 const conversions")
• Any remaining errors (if unable to fix automatically)

---

Step 4: Parallel Fix (>20 errors)

For large error counts, orchestrate parallel fix-eslint agents by directory.

⚠️ CRITICAL: Follow steps IN ORDER. DO NOT skip ahead.

4.1: Group Files by Directory and Create Todos (BLOCKING)

⚠️ MUST complete before Step 4.2

Use the output from Step 1 (the analyze_errors.sh script) to create directory-to-files mapping:

• src/auth/ → [login.ts, register.ts, session.ts]
• src/api/ → [users.ts, posts.ts]
• src/components/ → [Button.tsx, Header.tsx, Footer.tsx]

Grouping rules:

• Group files by immediate parent directory
• If directory has 10+ files, consider splitting into sub-directories or smaller batches
• If all errors in 1 file, skip parallelization and use Step 3 instead

Use TodoWrite to create one todo per directory:

TodoWrite: [
  {content: "Fix ESLint errors in src/auth/", activeForm: "Fixing ESLint errors in src/auth/", status: "pending"},
  {content: "Fix ESLint errors in src/api/", activeForm: "Fixing ESLint errors in src/api/", status: "pending"},
  {content: "Fix ESLint errors in src/components/", activeForm: "Fixing ESLint errors in src/components/", status: "pending"}
]

✅ CHECKPOINT: Verify all todos created before Step 4.2

4.2: Spawn Parallel Agents (ONLY AFTER Step 4.1 Complete)

⚠️ DO NOT START until Step 4.1 fully complete

Update all todos to in_progress:

TodoWrite: [
  {content: "Fix ESLint errors in src/auth/", activeForm: "Fixing ESLint errors in src/auth/", status: "in_progress"},
  {content: "Fix ESLint errors in src/api/", activeForm: "Fixing ESLint errors in src/api/", status: "in_progress"},
  {content: "Fix ESLint errors in src/components/", activeForm: "Fixing ESLint errors in src/components/", status: "in_progress"}
]

IMPORTANT: Spawn ALL agents in SINGLE message using multiple Task tool calls.

Example Task invocations:

Task 1 (src/auth/):
prompt: "Fix all ESLint errors in the src/auth/ directory.

Files with errors:
- src/auth/login.ts
- src/auth/register.ts
- src/auth/session.ts

See ./.claude/skills/fix-eslint/guidelines.md for detailed guidelines.

Process:
1. For each file, run: pnpm lint <file-path>
2. Read the file with errors
3. Fix each error by modifying code to comply with rule
4. NEVER add eslint-disable comments or modify eslint config
5. Verify: run pnpm lint <file-path> again to confirm fix

Report back:
- List of files processed
- Total errors fixed
- Brief summary (e.g., '8 unused imports removed, 3 return types added')
- Any remaining errors (if unable to fix)"

subagent_type: "general-purpose"
description: "Fix auth directory ESLint errors"

Task 2 (src/api/):
prompt: "Fix all ESLint errors in the src/api/ directory.

Files with errors:
- src/api/users.ts
- src/api/posts.ts

See ./.claude/skills/fix-eslint/guidelines.md for detailed guidelines.

Process:
1. For each file, run: pnpm lint <file-path>
2. Read the file with errors
3. Fix each error by modifying code to comply with rule
4. NEVER add eslint-disable comments or modify eslint config
5. Verify: run pnpm lint <file-path> again to confirm fix

Report back:
- List of files processed
- Total errors fixed
- Brief summary of main fixes
- Any remaining errors"

subagent_type: "general-purpose"
description: "Fix API directory ESLint errors"

Continue pattern for all directory batches...

Claude Code manages parallelism (up to 10 tasks concurrently).

4.3: Track Agent Completion and Update Todos

As each agent completes:

1. Parse agent's report (files processed, errors fixed)
2. Update corresponding todo to completed:

TodoWrite: [
  {content: "Fix ESLint errors in src/auth/", activeForm: "Fixing ESLint errors in src/auth/", status: "completed"},
  {content: "Fix ESLint errors in src/api/", activeForm: "Fixing ESLint errors in src/api/", status: "in_progress"},
  {content: "Fix ESLint errors in src/components/", activeForm: "Fixing ESLint errors in src/components/", status: "in_progress"}
]

3. Repeat for each agent as they complete

4.4: Final Verification and Summary

After ALL agents complete:

1. Run final verification:

   pnpm lint 2>&1
   

2. Aggregate results from all agent reports:

   Summary:
   - Total directories processed: X
   - Total files modified: Y
   - Total errors fixed: Z
   - Breakdown by directory:
     • src/auth/: 12 errors fixed in 3 files
     • src/api/: 8 errors fixed in 2 files
     • src/components/: 15 errors fixed in 3 files
   - Remaining errors: N (if any)
   

3. If remaining errors exist, report which files/directories still have issues

---

Edge Cases

Only 1 file with errors:

• Skip parallelization
• Fix directly using Step 3
• No TodoWrite needed

Errors spread across many directories (15+):

• Group by top-level directory only (e.g., src/, tests/, lib/)
• Don't over-split - let Claude Code manage parallelism

Large directory (20+ files):

• Split by subdirectory if they exist
• Or batch into groups of ~5 files each with separate Task calls

Agent reports remaining errors:

• Include in final summary
• Note specific files/rules that couldn't be auto-fixed
• Suggest manual review

---

Conflict Prevention

• Each directory/file assigned to EXACTLY ONE agent
• Verify no overlap before spawning
• All Task calls in ONE message for parallel execution
• Never let two agents modify same file
