Centralized error handling (RFC 7807), circuit breakers, and user-facing fallbacks. Use when: error handling strategy.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# error-handling-strategy Skill

## Goal
Errors are inevitable. Handling them must be consistent, predictable, and safe.

## Steps
## 1. Unified API Error Format (RFC 7807)
Never return raw stack traces or ad-hoc JSON strings. Use `Problem Details`:

```json
{
  "type": "https://example.com/probs/out-of-credit",
  "title": "You do not have enough credit.",
  "status": 403,
  "detail": "Current balance is 30, but cost is 50.",
  "instance": "/account/12345/msgs/abc",
  "traceId": "00-5c14d5-..."
}
```

## 2. Centralized Exception Handling
- **Do Not**: Catch exceptions in every controller method.
- **Do**: Use a Global Exception Handler (Middleware / Filter).
  - Map `DomainException` → 422 Unprocessable Entity.
  - Map `NotFoundException` → 404 Not Found.
  - Map `SecurityException` → 401/403.
  - Map `CatchAll` → 500 Internal Server Error (and log trace ID).

## 3. Resilience Patterns
- **Circuit Breaker**: Detect cascading failures. If 50% of requests to Service B fail, open the circuit (fail fast) for 30s.
- **Bulkhead**: Thread pool isolation. Service A crashing shouldn't take down Service B.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add andreibesleaga/gabbe/error-handling-strategy@sha256:9b4e04b830c9a64b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.de0823c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
