Add the value whose type should be stored, such as `TYPE OF score AS kind`.
If the result name is missing after `AS`, `claro typecheck` names the missing piece and shows the complete beginner form:
```claro

TYPE OF needs a result name after AS. Try: TYPE OF score AS kind.

Add a result name after `AS`, such as `kind`.
Class fields need a type after the field name. If a learner writes `HAS score` instead of `HAS score NUMBER`, `claro typecheck` explains the missing piece:

- typed function return diagnostics also identify an unknown return expression in compatibility `TAKES` / `LEARNED` functions, matching the modern function and object-method guidance
- `TYPE OF` reports a direct repair hint when the learner forgets `AS`, for example `TYPE OF score` suggests `TYPE OF score AS kind`

- `TYPE OF` reports a direct repair hint when the learner forgets the result name after `AS`, for example `TYPE OF score AS` reports `TYPE OF needs a result name after AS. Try: TYPE OF score AS kind.`
- `TYPE OF` rejects extra words after its result name with a direct repair hint, so `TYPE OF score AS kind extra` explains that only one result name belongs there; typed `TEACH ... RETURNS TYPE` declarations likewise reject extra words after the return type with a direct repair hint
- typed `TEACH ... RETURNS` declarations reject a missing return type with a direct repair hint, such as `Function greet needs a return type after RETURNS. Add a type such as NUMBER.` The same diagnostic names the complete class and method, including compatibility `TAKES` / `LEARNED` methods: `Method Player.score needs a return type after RETURNS. Add a type such as NUMBER.`
- typed list/map checks through `claro typecheck`, including a nested `LIST OF MAP` insertion example
