SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured approach to designing and implementing domain error handling strategies, ensuring clarity on who handles errors and how recovery should occur.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Error Categorization: Differentiates errors based on audience (user-facing, internal, system) and recovery potential (transient, permanent).
  • Recovery Strategies: Outlines patterns like retry with backoff, fallback, and circuit breakers.
  • Use Case: When developing a new microservice, use this Skill to define how different types of errors (e.g., network timeouts, invalid user input, database connection failures) should be categorized, logged, and handled to maintain system resilience.

Quick Start

Use the m13-domain-error skill to design a strategy for handling transient service unavailability errors.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design a domain error handling strategy for a new microservice?

Design a domain error handling strategy by categorizing errors based on audience and recovery potential, then defining specific recovery patterns like retry with backoff or circuit breakers to maintain system resilience.

What is the best way to categorize transient versus permanent errors in a software system?

Categorize transient and permanent errors by evaluating their recovery potential and audience, differentiating between user-facing, internal, and system errors to determine appropriate recovery strategies and user-facing messages.

When should I use retry with backoff or circuit breaker patterns for error recovery?

Use retry with backoff or circuit breaker patterns during error recovery when handling transient service unavailability, ensuring the system can gracefully recover from temporary failures without cascading downtime.

How do I ensure domain errors provide enough context for both user messages and debugging?

Ensure domain errors provide adequate context by designing audience-specific recovery and implementation tracing, addressing requirements for user-facing messages alongside internal debugging context to clarify who handles the error.

Can I use this error categorization approach for network timeouts and database connection failures?

Yes, you can apply this error categorization approach to network timeouts and database connection failures by classifying them as transient errors and mapping them to appropriate recovery strategies like retry or fallback to maintain resilience.
