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 benshapyro/cadre-devkit-claude at 19bca65791.

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

About this skill

What it does

The error-handler skill provides a mechanism for gracefully handling errors that occur during agent execution. It allows agents to detect, log, and potentially recover from unexpected issues, preventing abrupt terminations and providing more informative feedback to users. This improves robustness and user experience by ensuring the agent can continue operating even when faced with problems.

When to use it

  • Complex workflows: When an agent is performing a series of actions where failure in one step shouldn't halt the entire process.
  • External API integrations: To manage errors that might arise from unreliable external services.
  • Debugging and monitoring: For logging error details to aid in troubleshooting and improving agent performance.
  • User-facing agents: To provide a more polished experience by preventing crashes and offering helpful messages when something goes wrong.

Key capabilities

  • Error detection
  • Error logging
  • Graceful failure handling

Example prompts

  • "Run this script, but make sure to handle any errors that might occur."
  • “If you encounter an error while accessing the database, log the details and continue.”
  • "Execute these steps, and if anything fails, report back what happened."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires a compatible agent runtime environment. Ensure your agent framework supports integrating custom error handling mechanisms for optimal performance.
