Review Error Handling Before Release
Unhandled errors create confusing user experiences and weak production diagnostics. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code to review failure paths, feedback, logs, cleanup, and edge cases.

Test it
Using "error-handling-gate". Review a profile save flow that catches errors but only shows Error.
Expected outcome:
WARNING: User feedback is too generic. Ask what the user can do next and confirm the failure is logged safely.
Using "error-handling-gate". Review a data load flow with retry, friendly copy, logging, and loading cleanup.
Expected outcome:
PASS: The main failure path includes recovery guidance, production visibility, and cleanup of pending UI state.
Using "error-handling-gate". Review a checkout integration with third-party payment errors.
Expected outcome:
WARNING: Separate declined payment, network failure, and unknown errors so users receive accurate guidance.
Security Audit
SafeAll 14 static findings are false positives caused by Markdown code fences and inline examples, not executable shell or Ruby backtick execution. The skill is prose-only review guidance and contains no prompt injection, network access, or command execution instructions. No semantic security findings were found.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Check UI Failure States
Review form submissions, loading states, and user messages before a frontend change ships.
Review Service Failures
Evaluate API, database, and third-party failure paths for logging, recovery, and clear responses.
Run Release Gate
Apply a consistent warning-based checklist before approving feature work for release.
Try These Prompts
Use the error-handling-gate skill to review this change. Identify missing error handling and explain any warnings in plain language.
Apply the error-handling-gate skill to the visible error states. Check whether users know what happened and what to do next.
Use the error-handling-gate skill to review logging, sensitive data risks, and debugging context for the main failure paths.
Run the error-handling-gate skill across this feature. Return PASS or WARNING with locations, questions, severity, and recommended fixes.
Best Practices
- Review the user experience for every likely failure path.
- Pair error logging with context, but exclude secrets and personal data.
- Confirm cleanup paths reset loading, disabled, and pending states.
Avoid
- Accepting empty catch blocks because the happy path works.
- Showing raw exception messages to end users.
- Treating one generic error as enough for every failure.
