cfn-error-management

Unified error handling, batching, and logging for CFN Loop. Use when you need to capture agent errors, batch multiple errors for processing, log structured error data, or categorize and recover from agent failures.

14 stars

Best use case

cfn-error-management is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Unified error handling, batching, and logging for CFN Loop. Use when you need to capture agent errors, batch multiple errors for processing, log structured error data, or categorize and recover from agent failures.

Teams using cfn-error-management 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.

## Quick Start

### 1. Capture an Error

```bash
./cli/capture-error.sh \
  --agent-id "agent-123" \
  --error-type "TIMEOUT" \
  --message "Agent timed out after 900s" \
  --context "Loop 3 implementation"
```

### 2. Batch Errors for Processing

```bash
./cli/batch-errors.sh \
  --input errors.json \
  --max-batch-size 5 \
  --output batches.json
```

### 3. Log an Error

```bash
./cli/log-error.sh \
  --task-id "task-123" \
  --agent-id "agent-123" \
  --error-type "VALIDATION" \
  --message "Output validation failed"
```

## Module Details

### Capture Module (lib/capture/)

**Purpose:** Standardized error capture and categorization

**Error Types:**
- TIMEOUT - Agent execution timeout
- CRASH - Agent process crash
- VALIDATION - Output validation failure
- COORDINATION - Redis coordination failure
- UNKNOWN - Uncategorized errors

**Features:**
- Standardized error format
- Category-based recovery strategies
- Context preservation

### Batching Module (lib/batching/)

**Purpose:** Group errors for batch agent processing

**Features:**
- Error clustering by file
- Wave calculation for parallel processing
- Tier-based batching (small/medium/large)
- Template-based batch configuration

### Logging Module (lib/logging/)

**Purpose:** Error log storage and management

**Features:**
- Structured error logging
- Log cleanup and rotation
- Integration with CLI and Docker modes
- TypeScript implementation

---

## Integration with CFN Loop

```bash
# 1. Capture error when agent fails
./cli/capture-error.sh \
  --agent-id "$AGENT_ID" \
  --error-type "TIMEOUT" \
  --message "$ERROR_MESSAGE"

# 2. Log the error
./cli/log-error.sh \
  --task-id "$TASK_ID" \
  --agent-id "$AGENT_ID" \
  --error-type "TIMEOUT"

# 3. Batch multiple errors for batch processing
./cli/batch-errors.sh --input collected-errors.json
```
