# Debugging TypeScript Errors
## Overview
This is the shared-skill replacement for the legacy Claude Code `/debug:types` workflow.
Use it when TypeScript errors need real diagnosis rather than cargo-cult assertions or broad type loosening.
## Read First
Before acting, read:
- `.agents/skills/debugging-systematically/SKILL.md`
- `AGENTS.md`
## Core Workflow
1. **Collect the error**
- use the provided error text when available
- otherwise run the narrowest useful typecheck scope
2. **Parse the compiler signal**
- error code
- file and location
- expected vs actual type
3. **Read the surrounding code**
- never propose a fix before reading the file
4. **Trace the type source**
- where the actual type comes from
- where the expected type is defined
- where inference or narrowing goes wrong
5. **Classify the problem**
- wrong data
- wrong type definition
- missing narrowing
- generic inference failure
- invalid assertion
6. **Apply the smallest correct fix**
- fix data before widening types
- fix definitions before forcing assertions
- use assertions only as a last resort
7. **Re-run typecheck**
- confirm the original error is gone
- check that no new related errors were introduced
## Cross-Agent Rules
- Treat this skill as the portable replacement for `/debug:types`.
- Keep a short execution plan, but do not depend on a tool-specific todo API.
- Ask bounded clarification only when the repair strategy changes system
