error-handling

error-handling is a cursor rule for coding agents from cmaranho/rn-agent-skills. It costs 155 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for handling errors in an application. They require typed results, explicit handling of expected failures, clear user messages, recovery actions, and reporting for unexpected failures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing data layers, domain errors, user-interface error states, network failure handling, and error boundaries.
Why use it?
It prevents errors from being silently ignored or shown to users as confusing technical details. It also makes common problems such as network failures, timeouts, and server errors visible and recoverable.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 4d 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

Tratamento de Erros

  • Camada de dados retorna resultado tipado (sucesso/erro); não lança exceção crua.
  • Erros de domínio são tipados e carregam contexto (valor problemático + shape esperado).
  • Todo caso de erro previsível é tratado explicitamente (rede, timeout, 4xx, 5xx, offline).
  • UI sempre reflete o erro: estado de erro, mensagem clara e ação de recuperação.
  • Sem catch vazio ou que engole o erro silenciosamente.
  • Falhas inesperadas capturadas por error boundary e reportadas.
  • Mensagens ao usuário são claras, sem expor detalhes técnicos internos.

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.
