name: fix-parser description: Auto-repair common parser errors in golden set test files including type coercion (strings to numbers), range format conversion (min/max), field ordering for v3.x schema, weight structure migration (legacy to v3.0), and hallucination detection. Use this skill when: (1) Golden set validation shows fixable pattern errors, (2) Migrating golden set to new schema version, (3) Type errors detected (strings instead of numbers), (4) Range formats need conversion ("8-12" to min/max), or (5) Batch fixing common mistakes before running /verify

Fix Parser Skill

Automatically detect and repair common parser errors in golden set files using predefined fix patterns.

Core Workflow

1. Scan Golden Set - Load all *_expected.json files from data/golden_set/
2. Apply Fix Patterns - Run auto-repair functions in sequence
3. Report Changes - Show what was fixed
4. Verify - Optionally run /verify to confirm fixes

Common Fixes Applied

1. Type Errors

Convert string numbers to actual numbers:

Before: "target_sets": "3" After: "target_sets": 3

2. Range Formats

Convert string ranges to min/max fields:

Before: "target_reps": "8-12" After: "target_reps_min": 8, "target_reps_max": 12

3. Field Ordering (v3.x)

Reorder fields to match CANONICAL_JSON_SCHEMA.md:

Correct Order:

1. item_sequence
2. exercise_name
3. equipment_key
4. prescription
5. performed

4. Weight Structure (v3.0 Migration)

Convert legacy weight fields to v3.0 structure:

Before: "target_weight_kg": 100 After: "target_weight": {"value": 100, "unit": "kg"}

5. Prescription/Performance Separation

Ensure proper separation of planned vs actual:

Before: Mixed fields After: Clear prescription and performed objects

Usage

Copy# Fix all files in golden set
/fix-parser

# Fix specific file
/fix-parser workout_05

# Dry run (preview changes without applying)
/fix-parser --dry-run

# Fix and verify automatically
/fix-parser --verify

Expected Output

Copy🔧 Scanning golden set files...

Found 19 files to process:
- workout_01_expected.json ✅ No changes needed
- workout_02_expected.json 🔧 Fixed 3 type errors
- workout_03_expected.json 🔧 Fixed 1 range format
- workout_04_expected.json 🔧 Fixed field ordering
- workout_05_expected.json ⚠️  Manual review needed (hallucination detected)
...

Summary:
✅ 12 files OK
🔧 6 files auto-fixed
⚠️  1 file needs manual review

Changes saved. Run /verify to confirm fixes.

Manual Review Required

Some patterns require human judgment:

Hallucinations

Copy⚠️  WARNING: workout_05.json
- Numeric value without source text: target_weight = 80kg
- Original text: "moderate weight"
- Recommendation: Replace with notes field

→ Manually review and fix

Ambiguous Context

Copy⚠️  WARNING: workout_12.json
- Exercise name: "row"
- Could be: "Barbell Row" OR "Dumbbell Row" OR "Rowing Machine"
- Need context from original text

→ Check original text and add equipment_key

Fix Patterns Reference

See FIX_PATTERNS.md for detailed implementation of each fix pattern.

Post-Fix Workflow

1. Review Changes

   Copygit diff data/golden_set/
   

2. Verify Fixes

   Copy/verify
   

3. Handle Warnings

   • Review flagged files
   • Fix hallucinations manually
   • Resolve ambiguous cases

4. Commit

   Copygit add data/golden_set/
   git commit -m "fix: Auto-repair common parser errors in golden set"
   

Success Criteria

• ✅ All fixable patterns corrected
• ✅ No new errors introduced
• ✅ Warnings flagged for manual review
• ✅ /verify passes after fixes

Safety Features

1. Dry Run Mode - Preview changes first
2. Backup Creation - .backup files before modifying
3. Automatic Validation - Can run /verify automatically
4. Git Integration - Easy rollback with git checkout

Related Skills

• /verify - Validate fixes after applying
• /debug-parse - Test parser logic on specific snippets
• npm run learn - Update parser brain with corrections
