Automated safety checks
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

About this skill
What it does
This skill allows AI agents to handle errors and implement retry logic when performing actions. It enables graceful degradation in situations where an action fails initially, automatically attempting the operation again with configurable parameters. This improves robustness and reliability of agent workflows by mitigating transient failures.
When to use it
- API calls: Retry failed API requests after a short delay, especially for rate-limited or temporarily unavailable services.
- Database operations: Automatically retry database writes if they fail due to connection issues or temporary locking.
- File uploads/downloads: Handle intermittent network errors during file transfers by retrying the process.
- Complex workflows: Ensure critical steps in a multi-stage workflow are completed even if individual actions encounter temporary problems.
Key capabilities
- Error detection and classification
- Configurable retry attempts
- Exponential backoff for retry delays
- Customizable error handling logic
Example prompts
- "Retry the API call to get weather data up to 3 times with a 5-second delay between attempts."
- "If the database write fails, try again twice before logging an error."
- "Implement exponential backoff when uploading this file; retry at least 3 times."
Tips & gotchas
This skill requires careful configuration of retry parameters to avoid infinite loops or excessive resource consumption. Ensure that errors are genuinely transient and not indicative of a permanent problem before implementing automatic retries.
