What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the common pain points of inconsistent error handling in brepjs projects, which often lead to silent failures, cryptic uncaught kernel errors, and invalid geometry that is extremely difficult to debug.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Standardized Result workflow: Teaches proper use of brepjs Result<T,E> combinators, correct error channel selection for expected vs unexpected failures, and proper propagation of fallible operation results.
- Error construction best practices: Covers how to use kernelCall for kernel operations, add actionable context via metadata and recovery suggestions, and avoid common pitfalls like dropped error causes or typo'd error codes.
- Use case: When adding a new brepjs operation that can fail (such as a fillet, cut, or STEP export), use this Skill to ensure errors are returned as Results with clear, actionable messages instead of throwing unexpected exceptions or swallowing failures entirely.
Quick Start
Use the result-error-handling skill to implement proper Result-based error handling for your new brepjs boolean operation, including adding a custom BrepErrorCode and recovery suggestion for when the kernel reports a failed fuse.
