Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

Installs under a different name. Its SKILL.md names it Error Recovery, not the name it is listed under, so the command below uses that name.
  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add zpankz/mcp-skillset --skill "Error Recovery" -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

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 zpankz/mcp-skillset at d9355d58c0.

    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, authored by zpankz, provides error recovery capabilities to AI agents. It allows agents to gracefully handle unexpected errors during task execution and attempt to recover or reattempt operations. This ensures increased robustness and reliability in agent workflows.

When to use it

  • When an agent is performing complex tasks with multiple steps that are prone to failure (e.g., data processing pipelines).
  • In situations where retrying a failed action might lead to success due to transient issues (e.g., network glitches, temporary service unavailability).
  • To improve the overall reliability of agents operating in unpredictable environments.

Key capabilities

  • Error handling
  • Retry mechanisms
  • Graceful failure management

Example prompts

  • "If you encounter an error while processing this file, attempt to recover and continue."
  • "When connecting to the database, implement retry logic if the connection fails."
  • "Handle any errors during the checkout process and report them clearly."

Tips & gotchas

The skill’s effectiveness depends on the specific nature of the errors encountered. It's important to configure appropriate retry intervals and limits to avoid infinite loops or excessive resource consumption.
