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 rmyndharis/antigravity-skills at 3eff4af253.

    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 provides structured error handling patterns for backend AI agents. It helps to gracefully manage unexpected situations, prevent crashes, and provide informative feedback to users or calling systems. The skill implements retry mechanisms, circuit breakers, and fallback strategies to improve resilience and reliability.

When to use it

  • API integrations: When interacting with external APIs that might be unreliable or prone to errors.
  • Data processing pipelines: To handle failures during data transformations or loading processes.
  • Long-running tasks: To ensure tasks can recover from temporary issues and continue execution.
  • Critical backend services: Where stability and graceful degradation are paramount.

Key capabilities

  • Retry mechanisms with exponential backoff
  • Circuit breaker pattern implementation
  • Fallback strategies for degraded functionality
  • Structured error logging and reporting

Example prompts

  • "Implement a retry mechanism for the database connection."
  • "Add a circuit breaker to the payment processing API call."
  • "Provide a fallback response if the primary data source is unavailable."
  • “Log this error with details about the request.”

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes a basic understanding of backend development concepts. Carefully configure retry intervals and circuit breaker thresholds based on the specific service being integrated to avoid unintended consequences like overwhelming failing services or masking genuine issues.
