better-sqlite3-rebuild
- Use it when:
- better-sqlite3 fails to load in your Node.js project because it was compiled for a different Node.js version.
- It does:
- Runs npm rebuild, which rebuilds every native module of the project, without asking you, then retries what failed.
- Runs:
- By itself, whenever such a native-module error shows up.
It runs npm rebuild without asking.
TL;DR
better-sqlite3 is a SQLite library for Node.js that ships native code compiled for one Node.js version. Switch Node.js versions and it fails to load, with errors such as a NODE_MODULE_VERSION mismatch or "was compiled against a different Node.js version". This tiny skill tells the agent to fix that itself: when it sees such an error, it runs npm rebuild, which recompiles all the project's native modules for the Node.js you're running, and tries again, without asking you first. It comes from the demo project of Matt Pocock's AI engineering workshop, but nothing in it is specific to that project.
