Use when reviewing scripts, client components, bundles, or runtime behavior related to Implement proper error handling. Inspect both source code and the browser execution path so fixes target the real bottleneck or bug.

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

# Implement proper error handling

Unhandled errors crash applications, create poor user experiences, and make debugging impossible without proper context.

## Quick Reference

- Wrap async operations in try-catch blocks
- Use Error Boundaries in React for UI-level error handling
- Log errors with context for debugging
- Always re-throw or handle—never silently swallow errors

## Check

Review error handling in this code, ensuring async operations use try-catch and errors are properly logged.

## Fix

Add try-catch blocks to async operations and implement error boundaries for React components.

## Explain

Explain JavaScript error handling best practices including try-catch, Promise rejection, and error boundaries.

## Code Review

Review scripts, client components, and browser execution paths related to Implement proper error handling. Flag exact imports, event handlers, runtime side effects, or blocking operations that violate the rule, and state how the change should be verified in the browser.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thedaviddias/front-end-checklist/error-handling@sha256:2d394a07c32f5059

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.4b0ddb9, 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.
