agent-error-recovery SKILL.md skillA
agent-error-recovery from latestaiagents/agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add latestaiagents/agent-skills/agent-error-recovery@git:20260205.a0b8780Pins git:20260205.a0b8780 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use this skill when implementing error handling for AI agents. Activate when the user needs agents to handle failures gracefully, implement retry strategies, design fault-tolerant agent systems, or build agents that can recover from errors without human intervention.
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
# Agent Error Recovery
Design fault-tolerant agent systems that recover gracefully from failures.
## When to Use
- Building production-grade agent systems
- Agents need to handle API failures
- Implementing autonomous error recovery
- Designing resilient multi-agent workflows
- Setting up monitoring and alerting
## Error Classification
```typescript
enum ErrorCategory {
// Transient - retry likely to succeed
RATE_LIMIT = 'rate_limit',
TIMEOUT = 'timeout',
NETWORK = 'network',
SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE = 'service_unavailable',
// Recoverable - different approach may work
INVALID_INPUT = 'invalid_input',
CONTEXT_OVERFLOW = 'context_overflow',
TOOL_FAILURE = 'tool_failure',
// Terminal - cannot proceed
AUTHENTICATION = 'authentication',
AUTHORIZATION = 'authorization',
NOT_FOUND = 'not_found',
VALIDATION = 'validation',
// Unknown
UNKNOWN = 'unknown'
}
interface AgentError {
category: ErrorCategory;
code: string;
message: string;
retryable: boolean;
context: Record<string, unknown>;
timestamp: Date;
stackTrace?: string;
}
function classifyError(error: Error): AgentError {
// Rate limits

How to install
mdr add latestaiagents/agent-skills/agent-error-recovery@sha256:e2d915eec473202fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260205.a0b8780, 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.
