OCaml Error Checker

This skill uses ocamlmerlin to analyze OCaml source files and report all compilation and type errors.

Usage

When invoked, this skill will:

1. Take the file path provided by the user (or infer it from context)
2. Run ocamlmerlin to get all errors in the file
3. Parse and present the errors in a readable format

How to Use

Use the check-ocaml-errors.sh script to analyze a file:

./check-ocaml-errors.sh <filepath>

The script will:

• Read the file contents
• Pass it to ocamlmerlin for analysis
• Parse the JSON response
• Display errors with line numbers, columns, and messages

When to Invoke This Skill

• User asks to "check errors in .ml"
• User wants to "see what's wrong with my OCaml code"
• User requests to "validate OCaml file"
• User mentions type errors or compilation issues in OCaml

Example Commands

• "Check errors in src/main.ml"
• "What errors are in this OCaml file?"
• "Validate my OCaml code"
• "Show me all type errors"

Notes

• Requires ocamlmerlin to be installed and in PATH
• Works best with proper .merlin or dune configuration in the project
• Provides line and column numbers for precise error location
