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.

About this skill
What it does
This skill enables AI agents to gracefully handle errors that occur during task execution. It provides mechanisms for catching exceptions, logging error details, and attempting recovery actions when possible. The goal is to prevent abrupt failures and provide informative feedback to the user about what went wrong.
When to use it
- Complex workflows: Use this skill when your agent performs multiple steps or interacts with external services where errors are likely.
- Data processing pipelines: When an agent processes data, error handling ensures that corrupted or invalid entries don't halt the entire process.
- API integrations: When integrating with third-party APIs, this skill helps manage potential network issues or unexpected API responses.
- User interactions: To provide a better user experience by preventing crashes and offering helpful error messages when something goes wrong.
Key capabilities
- Exception catching
- Error logging
- Recovery attempts
- Informative error feedback
Example prompts
- "Handle any errors that occur while retrieving data from the database."
- "If the API call fails, log the error and try again once."
- “Catch exceptions during file processing and report them to the user.”
Tips & gotchas
- This skill requires a basic understanding of programming concepts like exception handling.
- Ensure that your agent's code is structured in a way that allows for effective error catching and logging.
