error-states

error-states is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from m-binimran/dev-pack. It costs 53 tokens per session (369 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing the states a Next.js page shows while data loads, is missing, fails, or does not exist. It also covers feedback after actions such as saving or deleting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Adding loading placeholders, empty messages, retryable errors, real not-found pages, and success or failure feedback for user actions.
Why use it?
It prevents pages from showing blank areas, unexplained errors, or endless loading when something goes wrong or there is no data.

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-states 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 1mo 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-states

Most apps ship the happy path and forget the other three. A surface isn't done until loading, empty, and error are all handled.

The four states for every data surface

  1. Loading — loading.tsx or <Suspense fallback>. Use skeletons that match the final layout (no CLS), not a bare spinner where possible.
  2. Empty — designed empty state with a next action ("No projects yet — create one"), not a blank box.
  3. Error — error.tsx (client error boundary) with a human message + a retry (reset()); log the real error server-side. Never show a raw stack trace to users.
  4. Not found — not-found.tsx + notFound() for missing resources (real 404, not a 200 with "nothing here").

Feedback for actions

  • Mutations show pending state (disabled + spinner) and a success/error toast (aria-live for errors).
  • Optimistic updates roll back visibly on failure (see state-architect).

Output

  • The loading/empty/error/not-found treatments for the surface, and the action feedback.
  • State which of the four are implemented and which are N/A.

Guardrails

  • No surface ships with only the happy path.
  • Error UI must not leak internal details; log them server-side instead.
  • Skeletons must reserve the real layout's space to avoid layout shift.

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.
