android-error-handling

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the common problem of inconsistent, untyped error handling in Android and Kotlin Multiplatform apps, which leads to uncaught exceptions, unclear failure states, and duplicated error mapping code across data, domain, and presentation layers.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Generic Typed Result Wrapper: A reusable Result<T, E> interface that works across all app layers to represent success and failure states with fully typed error types.
• Chainable Operation Helpers: Built-in extension functions (map, onSuccess, onFailure) for Result that eliminate boilerplate when handling success and failure flows.
• Pre-built Error Types and Safe Helpers: Shared DataError definitions for network and local failures, plus safe Ktor HTTP client wrappers that automatically map HTTP responses and exceptions to typed errors.
• Use Case: A notes app can use this Skill to handle network request failures, local database errors, and password validation errors consistently, without throwing uncaught exceptions for expected failure scenarios.

Quick Start

Use the android-error-handling skill to implement a typed Result wrapper for your app's note repository that handles network and local database errors consistently.
