Teams using error-handling-patterns should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Error Handling Patterns Build resilient applications with robust error handling strategies that gracefully handle failures and provide excellent debugging experiences. ## Use this skill when - Implementing error handling in new features - Designing error-resilient APIs - Debugging production issues - Improving application reliability - Creating better error messages for users and developers - Implementing retry and circuit breaker patterns - Handling async/concurrent errors - Building fault-tolerant distributed systems ## Do not use this skill when - The task is unrelated to error handling patterns - You need a different domain or tool outside this scope ## Instructions - Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs. - Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes. - Provide actionable steps and verification. - If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`. ## Resources - `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed patterns and examples.
