Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned armanzeroeight/fastagent-plugins at 61b61a99e6.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enhances AI agent reliability by providing robust error handling capabilities. It allows agents to gracefully manage unexpected issues during task execution, preventing complete failures and offering informative feedback. The skill specifically focuses on catching exceptions and returning structured error responses.

When to use it

  • Complex workflows: When an agent is performing multi-step tasks where individual steps might fail unexpectedly.
  • External API integrations: When interacting with external services that can be unreliable or return errors.
  • Debugging agent behavior: To understand and diagnose why an agent is failing to complete a task successfully.
  • Production deployments: To ensure agents remain operational even when encountering unforeseen problems.

Key capabilities

  • Exception catching
  • Structured error responses
  • Graceful failure handling

Example prompts

  • "Handle errors gracefully when calling the external API."
  • "Catch any exceptions during this process and report them clearly."
  • “If there's an issue, return a JSON object with an 'error' field.”

Tips & gotchas

This skill is most effective when integrated early in agent development. Ensure your prompts explicitly instruct the agent to utilize error handling for critical operations.
