error-handling SKILL.md skillA

error-handling from int2t05/engineering-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add int2t05/engineering-skills/error-handling@git:20261015.f440cbb

Pins git:20261015.f440cbb in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Implement explicit failure semantics, bounded retries and recovery. Triggers on "error handling", "错误处理".

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

## When to use

- Implement explicit failure semantics, bounded retries and recovery.

**Not for:** debugging for a defect; incident-response for live containment.

## Steps

1. Identify operations, failure classes, ownership and user consequences.

2. Choose consistent boundary errors or results, preserve causes and sanitize public output.

3. Retry only transient failures with budgets and safe idempotency; add timeouts, cancellation or circuits when required.

4. Exercise real code with controlled failure inputs and verify recovery, telemetry and user feedback.

## Verify

- Errors are not swallowed; retries terminate and repeated actions and recovery have evidence.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add int2t05/engineering-skills/error-handling@sha256:36a94a346268e366

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.f440cbb, 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.
