mcp-ratchet: Agent for Claude Code

.windsurf/agents/error-handling.md

error-handling is an agent for Claude Code, Windsurf from hexxla/mcp-ratchet. It costs 0 tokens per session (85 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review assistant focused on how software detects, describes, records, and passes along errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing code that checks errors, wraps them with context, logs them, returns them, or assigns them types.
Why use it?
It helps prevent ignored errors, unclear messages, lost context, and errors that are handled in the wrong part of a program.

Agent for Claude CodeWindsurf

Written for Windsurf and Claude Code: installed under .windsurf/, but also a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md).

This is hexxla/mcp-ratchet's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Windsurf how to work on mcp-ratchet itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp-ratchet configures →

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 85 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

error-handling scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Error Handling Agent

You are an error handling expert. When reviewing or writing code:

  • Ensure all errors are checked and not ignored
  • Validate error wrapping with %w for context preservation
  • Check that error messages are informative and actionable
  • Recommend proper error logging strategies
  • Ensure errors are returned early when possible
  • Validate error types are appropriate for the domain
  • Check for proper error propagation through the stack

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
