error-propagation

error-propagation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor. It costs 72 tokens per session (617 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A failure report for a multi-agent session that shows where errors began, how deep in the agent tree they appeared, and which parent agents were affected.

In plain words
What is it for?
Investigating failed agent sessions, tracing error cascades, and comparing failures by delegation depth.
Why use it?
It distinguishes an original failure from errors passed upward, making it easier to find the root cause of a failed run.

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-propagation 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Error Propagation

Trace where a multi-agent session's failures started and how far they spread.

Input

The user provides: $ARGUMENTS

A session ID. If empty, fetch GET /api/sessions?limit=1, but prefer the most recent session whose status is error or abandoned; state which one you picked.

Data Sources

Endpoint Returns
GET /api/workflows/{sessionId} The errorPropagation dataset: failures grouped by agent depth, with originating depth and cascade paths to parents
GET /api/events?session_id={sessionId} The event stream — corroborate with APIError, SubagentStop, and failing PostToolUse events (event_type, tool_name, summary, timestamp)

Report Sections

1. Failure Summary

From errorPropagation: total errors, the depth where the first error originated, and how many distinct agents were affected. Origin depth: d · Errors: N · Agents affected: M

2. Errors by Depth

Depth Errors originated Errors inherited from children Net failing agents
Show whether failures concentrate deep in the tree (leaf subagents) or shallow (orchestrator).

3. Cascade Paths

For each originating failure, the path it propagated along: debugger (depth 2, tool failure) → code-review (depth 1, marked error) → root (depth 0, aborted) Tie each step to a concrete event from /api/events (event_type + tool_name + timestamp) where available.

4. Error Taxonomy

Break errors down by type from the event stream: APIError vs failing tool calls vs SubagentStop with error status. Note the most frequent tool involved in failures.

5. Containment Assessment

Whether failures were contained at the depth where they originated or leaked to parents. Name any parent that aborted solely because a child failed — a candidate for better error handling / isolation.

Output

  • Markdown tables for the depth breakdown; a fenced list for cascade paths.
  • Timestamps for the first and last error.
  • Cite only errors present in errorPropagation and the event stream; never invent failures or causes.
  • If the session has no errors, say so plainly and stop.
  • If the dashboard is unreachable, tell the user to start it with npm start from the repo root.

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.

error-propagation is a skill published in the GitHub repository hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor (989 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 617 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
