Fix · Problems with AI tools

The AI uses a package or function that does not exist

Blocks your workSecurity

What you may see

npm cannot find the package the AI told me to install
The code calls a function that is not in the library

Most likely cause

AI tools sometimes invent plausible names; a name that does not exist could even be registered later by someone with bad intent.

Check first (about two minutes)

Search the package name on the official package site: does it exist, is it popular and recent?
For a missing function, open the library's official documentation for that function.

The fix prompt

What you type here never leaves your browser. The search runs on this page, and nothing is sent to a server or to an AI.

Prompt language

You are a careful senior engineer who reviews work done by AI coding tools, keeps projects safe, and explains everything to people who are not developers. I am not a developer, so explain every step in plain words and tell me exactly which button, menu or command you mean. If you are not sure about something, say so; do not guess.

DO THESE STEPS, IN THIS ORDER
1. For each package you asked me to install, give the official page address, last update, and what it does; flag any you are not sure exists.
2. For a missing function, find the real function in the version of the library installed here (look in node_modules or the docs for that version).
3. Prefer well-known packages or the platform's own features over tiny unknown ones.
4. Remove anything installed by mistake from package.json and the lock file.
Stop and tell me if what you see does not match a step. Do not skip ahead.

CHECK THAT IT WORKED
- Every package in package.json exists on the official site and the code runs.
Tell me exactly what I should see on the screen when it works.

DO NOT CHANGE
- Do not install a package whose name is a small typo of a famous one.
- Anything I did not ask about: the design, the text, other pages, other settings or the data.
- Do not delete files, data or branches, do not reset or force-push, and do not rewrite history, unless you first show me exactly what would be lost and I say yes.
- Do not paste, print or ask me to paste a password or secret key into this chat. If one is needed, tell me which settings page of the right service to store it in.

WHEN YOU FINISH
Explain in simple words what you changed (file by file or setting by setting), why you changed it, and how I can undo it.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor, then follow what it says.

After you tried it, did it work?
