Style guide for writing error messages, exception messages, and validation messages consistently across the codebase. Apply this skill whenever the user is writing, reviewing, or fixing error messages — even if they just say "fix the wording", "make these consistent", "review the error messages", or "what should this error say".
Rewrite error messages to describe what went wrong, name the subject, use the correct tense, and include the offending value when known.

To write consistent error messages, describe the problem state rather than giving caller guidance. Ensure tense consistency across missing, invalid, and active states, and include the specific subject name and offending value when known.
The best way to format wrapped exception messages is to preserve the original exception details. Describe what went wrong using subject-first phrasing instead of providing instructions to the caller.
Fix validation errors by using subject-first phrasing and the appropriate tense for the condition type. Name the subject and include the offending value so the message clearly describes what went wrong.
Yes, this approach applies to redirect error descriptions, exception messages, and validation errors across code paths. It enforces tense consistency and subject naming to improve overall log readability.
Error messages should describe the state because it enforces consistency across code paths. Describing what went wrong with subject-first phrasing and correct tense keeps validation messages clear and prevents ambiguous caller instructions.
