Implement robust error handling with exceptions, retry logic, circuit breakers, and graceful degradation. Use when designing error handling strategies, implementing retry policies, adding circuit breakers, configuring timeouts, or building health check endpoints.
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 > **Purpose**: Handle failures gracefully with logging, retries, and circuit breakers. > **Goal**: No silent failures, clear error messages, system resilience. > **Note**: For language-specific implementations, see [C# Development](../../languages/csharp/SKILL.md) or [Python Development](../../languages/python/SKILL.md). --- ## When to Use This Skill - Designing error handling strategies - Implementing retry policies with backoff - Adding circuit breakers for external services - Configuring request timeouts - Building health check endpoints ## Prerequisites - Understanding of exception hierarchies in target language - Resilience library available ## Rationalization Table Error handling is where shortcuts hide. Push back against these. | Rationalization | Reality | |-----------------|---------| | "I'll catch `Exception` / `except:` here, narrower types take too long." | Bare catches swallow the bugs you most need to see, including programmer errors. Catch the specific exception types you can actually handle. | …

How to install
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/error-handling@sha256:ea6a325b8c230260The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
