error-catalog-maintainer

error-catalog-maintainer is a skill for Codex from Eliyce/paqad-ai. It costs 12 tokens per session (583 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A documentation helper that maintains per-module catalogs of application errors, including what triggers them, how users see them, and how they can be recovered.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding error codes, changing user-facing error messages, or changing how existing failures are recovered.
Why use it?
It prevents new or changed failure paths from being undocumented or inconsistent with the shared error-code registry.

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-catalog-maintainer 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/extract-error-codes.sh, scripts/find-error-catalogs.sh, scripts/lint-output.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Does

Maintains per-module error catalogs so new or changed failure paths are documented with recovery guidance, ownership signals, and registry consistency.

Use This When

Use this when a change introduces new error codes, modifies user-facing messages, or changes the recovery path for existing failures.

Inputs

  • Read the module error-catalog.md and any API error docs first.
  • Read the changed implementation and any available error-code extraction output.
  • Read references/error-entry-fields.md before editing catalog entries.

Procedure

  1. Run scripts/find-error-catalogs.sh to locate canonical per-module error catalogs.
  2. Run scripts/extract-error-codes.sh <changed-files...> to surface candidate codes the diff introduces or renames.
  3. For each new / changed code, write or update its entry using assets/entry.template.md (code, trigger, user message, operator meaning, recovery, retry safety, ownership).
  4. Check global registry / module prefix collisions explicitly.
  5. Format report per assets/output.template.md and validate with scripts/lint-output.sh. Vague user messages or unknown recovery → ## Catalog Gaps, never a completed entry.

Output Contract

  • Match assets/output.template.md: ## Updated Error Entries and ## Catalog Gaps.
  • Every updated entry must name the error code, catalog path, and changed trigger, message, recovery, or ownership field.
  • Output must pass scripts/lint-output.sh (exit 0).
  • Unknown recovery guidance, owner, or retry safety belongs under Catalog Gaps, never as a guessed completed entry.

Escalate / Stop Conditions

  • Ask when the correct user-facing recovery guidance depends on product or support policy.
  • Warn when an error path leaks internal details or has no documented operator response.
  • Do not approve an entry that only says a generic failure occurred.

Resources

  • references/error-entry-fields.md
  • scripts/find-error-catalogs.sh
  • scripts/extract-error-codes.sh
  • scripts/lint-output.sh

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
