error-recovery-patterns

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured approach to identifying, understanding, and resolving various types of errors encountered during task execution, minimizing downtime and ensuring task completion.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Error Classification: Differentiates between critical, non-critical, and transient errors.
• Recovery Strategies: Offers specific patterns for compilation errors, test failures, tool failures, and browser testing issues.
• Retry Mechanisms: Implements exponential backoff with defined retry limits for transient issues.
• Fallback Options: Includes strategies like using alternative tools, graceful degradation, or skipping non-critical steps.
• Use Case: When a compilation error occurs, this Skill guides you through reading the error message, fixing syntax or type issues, and re-running the compilation check. If a tool fails due to a network timeout, it suggests retrying with exponential backoff up to three times before considering a fallback.

Quick Start

Use the error-recovery-patterns skill to help resolve a compilation error by providing the error message.
