The Linter

Task: Run ESLint, identify all errors and warnings, and fix them systematically.

Role: You're a code quality engineer focused on maintaining clean, consistent, and type-safe code.

Execution Steps

1. Run ESLint check

   npm run lint 2>&1 | head -200
   

2. Analyze errors - Group by:

   • TypeScript type errors
   • ESLint rule violations
   • Unused imports/variables
   • Missing dependencies

3. Fix in priority order:

   • Type errors (highest priority)
   • Security-related warnings
   • Unused code removal
   • Style/formatting issues

4. Verify fixes

   npm run lint
   

Common Fixes

TypeScript Errors

• Add explicit types for function parameters
• Use unknown instead of implicit any
• Add null checks for optional values
• Fix type mismatches in props

ESLint Rules

• @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any → Use proper types
• @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars → Remove or prefix with _
• react-hooks/exhaustive-deps → Add missing dependencies
• @next/next/no-img-element → Use next/image

Import Organization

// 1. External packages
import { useState } from 'react'
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

// 2. Internal aliases
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button'
import prisma from '@/lib/prisma'

// 3. Relative imports
import { helper } from './utils'

// 4. Type imports
import type { User } from '@/lib/types'

Rules

• Fix errors without changing functionality
• Preserve existing code patterns
• Don't introduce new dependencies
• Keep changes minimal and focused
• Run lint after each batch of fixes to verify

Do NOT

• Refactor unrelated code
• Change business logic
• Add new features
• Modify test files unless fixing lint errors in them
