Can I customize the error response format?

Absolutely. The skill defines a standard JSON error structure (code, message, details, requestId) that can be extended or modified to match your API specification.

What frameworks does this skill support?

While the logic patterns are general, the implementation examples are specifically optimized for Node.js, Express, and TypeScript environments.

How does this skill help with debugging in production?

It implements automated Request ID generation and structured logging via Pino, allowing developers to trace specific errors through logs efficiently.

Does it include specific handling for database errors?

Yes, it includes built-in handlers for common Prisma ORM errors such as P2002 (unique constraint) and P2025 (record not found).
