error-handling SKILL.md skillA

error-handling from gastonchevarria/god-mode is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add gastonchevarria/god-mode/error-handling@git:20261014.522e28a

Pins git:20261014.522e28a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Writes robust Python and TypeScript error handling: timeouts, retries, graceful shutdown. Use when writing code that calls external services, files or the network.

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

# Robust Error Handling (Python / TypeScript)

When writing or refactoring code in Python or TypeScript, especially code that deals with I/O, network requests, or long-running processes, you MUST prioritize robustness and apply the following patterns:

## 1. Always Clean Up (try/finally)
Ensure that resources (files, network connections, sessions, clients) are always closed properly.
- **Python**: Use `try/finally` blocks or context managers (`with`).
- **TypeScript**: Use `try/finally` blocks.

## 2. Handle Specific Errors
Do not blindly catch generic exceptions unless it's a top-level fail-safe.
- **Python**: Catch `FileNotFoundError`, `ConnectionError`, `TimeoutError`, etc., before `Exception`.
- **TypeScript**: Check the `error.message` or `error.code` (e.g., `ENOENT`, `ECONNREFUSED`) to handle known failure states gracefully.

## 3. Set Appropriate Timeouts
Never make synchronous or asynchronous calls to external services or long-running processes without setting a timeout.
- Use timeout arguments in APIs when available.
- If not available, use `asyncio.wait_for` (Python) or `Promise.race` with a timeout promise (TypeScript).

## 4. Graceful Shutdown

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add gastonchevarria/god-mode/error-handling@sha256:bb7b320865d6ff65

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.522e28a, 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.
