Can it fix my CLI exit codes?

Yes, it provides a standardized exit code table (ranging from validation errors to internal failures) and demonstrates how to use the exitWithError helper to ensure consistent process termination.

Why isn't my JSON output appearing in the CLI?

This skill helps you verify if the OUTFITTER_JSON environment variable is overriding your flags and ensures that your output functions are properly awaited before the process exits.

What is the Outfitter Stack?

The Outfitter Stack is a collection of TypeScript packages and patterns designed for building robust agents, focusing on predictable error handling via the Result type and standardizing CLI/MCP behaviors.

How does this skill help with MCP issues?

It identifies common registration errors, ensures tool handlers are correctly marked as async, and validates that Zod schemas include the descriptions necessary for AI models to understand them.
