fail-fast-no-hedging

What problem does it solve?

Hedging is the practice of masking required infrastructure failures with defensive try/except blocks, which can mask real issues, degrade observability, and delay incident response. This Skill helps identify hedging anti-patterns and promotes fail-fast patterns to surface failures clearly for faster remediation.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Hedging Audit: Detect common patterns where required infrastructure is treated as optional.
• Structured Assessment: Produce a standardized report listing hedging violations, severity, location, and impact.
• Remediation Guidance: Provide concrete strategies for replacing hedging with explicit errors, retries with visibility, or safe fallbacks that preserve failure signaling.

Quick Start

Run a hedging audit on your repository to generate the Hedging Anti-Patterns Found report for immediate remediation.
