Why does this skill advise against logging at every layer?

Logging at every layer creates log pollution, making it difficult to find the root cause. The skill recommends logging once at the boundary where the error is actually handled.

What is the primary goal of the Handling Errors skill?

The primary goal is to prevent silent failures and the loss of context during error propagation, ensuring that bugs are visible and debuggable.

Which programming languages are supported?

The skill includes specific best practices and patterns for TypeScript/React, Python, and Go, covering language-specific features like Error Boundaries and explicit error returns.

How does this skill handle different types of errors?

It categorizes errors into Expected, Transient, Unexpected, and Critical, providing specific handling strategies like Result types, retries, or circuit breakers for each.

개발자 도구

Implements robust error handling patterns to prevent silent failures and preserve debugging context across various programming languages.

소개

The Handling Errors skill equips Claude with a standardized framework for managing exceptions and failures, moving beyond simple try-catch blocks to implement professional error propagation strategies. It enforces 'Iron Laws' such as avoiding silent failures and preserving error context, ensuring that developers receive actionable logs while users see helpful, non-technical messages. By applying these patterns, the skill helps create more resilient applications that are easier to debug and maintain, whether you are working in TypeScript, Python, or Go.
