error-log

error-log is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sordi-ai/skill-everything. It costs 29 tokens per session (2,951 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A shared record of past mistakes and the rules derived from them. It checks new entries against a schema, which is a defined structure for valid data, to prevent duplicates and invalid records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before recording a new mistake, and use it to document what happened, why, its impact, the fix, and the rule to follow next time.
Why use it?
It helps a coding agent avoid repeating known errors and makes the reasoning behind corrective rules available in one place.

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-log 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 5d 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.

    date: 2026-04-12
    category: development
    severity: high
    context: TypeScript project with strictNullChecks. Agent disabled it per-file to silence a demo error.
    what_happened: Added triple-slash directive disabling strictNullChecks; CI caught it.
    root_cause: Silenced compiler instead of fixing the null path.
    impact: Null-safety gap shipped to CI; required revert.
    resolution: Removed directive; fixed the null path properly.
    new_rule: Never disable strictNullChecks or any strict TypeScript flag to silence a compiler error; fix the type instead.

    category: development
    severity: high
    context: TypeScript monorepo rename. Agent renamed in source and adjacent test only.
    what_happened: Reported rename complete; cross-package refs still used old name.
    root_cause: Local tsc scope hides cross-package references in a monorepo.
    impact: 35 min lost first occurrence; 10 min second.
    resolution: Added project-wide grep step to rename checklist.
    new_rule: After any rename, run a project-wide grep for the old name before claiming the rename is complete.

  - id: ERR-2026-012
    date: 2026-05-04
    category: deployment
    severity: high
    context: Billing service deploy with DB migration. Agent ran rollout before migration job.
    what_happened: New image expected a column that didn't exist; readiness probes failed ~90 s.
    root_cause: Assumed migrations run at pod startup; they're a separate Helm Job.
    impact: 90 s probe failures; on-call paged.
    resolution: Ran migration Job first, then re-rolled deployment.
    new_rule: Before any deployment that includes a database migration, run the migration job to completion first.

    category: development
    severity: medium
    context: pytest fixtures returning mutable dict shared across tests.
    what_happened: First test mutated fixture; second received already-mutated object. Flaky in CI.
    root_cause: Fixture returned mutable object by reference; no fresh instance per test.
    impact: 2 h debugging cross-test pollution.
    resolution: Changed fixture to factory callable returning fresh dict per invocation.
    new_rule: Never return mutable objects from pytest fixtures; use factory fixtures that create fresh instances per invocation.

    category: development
    severity: medium
    context: API client retry logic caught broad Exception, silently retrying a TypeError.
    what_happened: None dereference retried 3x before failing; 4 h debugging.
    root_cause: Overly broad except caught programming errors that should crash immediately.
    impact: Real error buried in retry logs.
    resolution: Narrowed catch to ConnectionError and Timeout only.
    new_rule: Always catch specific exception types rather than broad base classes in retry or error recovery logic.

    date: 2026-05-13
    category: development
    severity: medium
    context: is_palindrome implemented before tests; empty-string edge case missed.
    what_happened: Tests validated code-as-written; empty string returned True instead of False.
    root_cause: No failing test first; no signal that empty-string was unhandled.
    impact: Bug shipped.
    resolution: Rewrote with TDD; empty-string test failed first, drove correct implementation.
    new_rule: Always write a failing test before implementing new behavior to ensure tests validate intended behavior.

  - id: ERR-2026-018
    date: 2026-05-13
    category: development
    severity: medium
    context: Agent applied a fix to a reported bug without first reproducing it.
    what_happened: Bug recurred within two days under a slightly different input path.
    root_cause: No reproduction case; no way to confirm the fix addressed the actual failure mode.
    impact: Duplicate bug report; additional debugging cycle wasted.
    resolution: Wrote a minimal reproduction test, traced to root cause, fixed the invariant.
    new_rule: Before fixing a bug, reproduce it on demand and encode the reproduction as an automated test first.

  - id: ERR-2026-019
    date: 2026-05-13
    category: security
    severity: high
    context: REST API with RBAC. Agent added admin endpoint without ownership check.
    what_happened: Any authenticated admin could delete any user's record by supplying an arbitrary ID.
    root_cause: Role check treated as sufficient; resource ownership never verified.
    impact: Privilege escalation; any admin could delete records belonging to other users.
    resolution: Added ownership assertion before delete; returns 403 if caller does not own the record.
    new_rule: Always verify resource ownership in addition to role-based access on mutation endpoints.

    date: 2026-05-13
    category: development
    severity: medium
    context: Python service Dockerfile. Agent placed COPY . . before RUN pip install.
    what_happened: Every code edit triggered a full pip install in CI, adding ~3 min per build.
    root_cause: Source copy invalidated the dependency layer before the install step.
    impact: 3 min added to every CI build; feedback loop degraded.
    resolution: Moved COPY requirements.txt and RUN pip install before COPY . .
    new_rule: Always install dependencies in a separate layer before copying application source.

  - id: ERR-2026-021
    date: 2026-05-13
    category: deployment
    severity: high
    context: CI deploy script for a Node service. Agent omitted set -e.
    what_happened: npm install failed mid-run; script continued and uploaded a broken artifact.
    root_cause: Missing set -euo pipefail allowed the script to proceed past a fatal error.
    impact: Broken artifact deployed to staging; 45 min rollback.
    resolution: Added set -euo pipefail at the top; re-ran pipeline successfully.
    new_rule: Always begin shell scripts with set -euo pipefail to fail fast on errors.

  - id: ERR-2026-022
    date: 2026-05-13
    category: development
    severity: high
    context: SaaS app users table. Agent added email column without a UNIQUE constraint.
    what_happened: Concurrent registrations bypassed app check; duplicate email rows inserted.
    root_cause: Uniqueness enforced only in application code; concurrent writes race past the check.
    impact: Duplicate accounts; users locked out; manual DB cleanup required.
    resolution: Added UNIQUE constraint on users.email; backfilled duplicates before applying.
    new_rule: Always enforce uniqueness at the database level rather than relying on application-layer checks.

    date: 2026-05-13
    category: git
    severity: high
    context: Self-extension workflow. Agent ran gh pr create without --label needs-rule-review.
    what_happened: PR created without required label; auto-approve CI gate skipped the PR.
    root_cause: Agent omitted --label flag; gh pr create silently succeeds without required labels.
    impact: Rule change stalled; CODEOWNERS approval gate never triggered.
    resolution: Closed and re-created PR with --label needs-rule-review; gate ran and approved.
    new_rule: Always include required labels when creating PRs for branches with automated gates.

  - id: ERR-2026-024
    date: 2026-05-13
    category: git
    severity: high
    context: Feature branch open 3 days. Agent merged without rebasing; regression fix had landed on main.
    what_happened: Merged without rebasing; branch was missing a regression fix from main.
    root_cause: Assumed CI green on branch meant safe to merge; did not check main for new commits.
    impact: Regression reintroduced to main; required hotfix and re-deploy.
    resolution: Rebased onto main, resolved conflicts, re-ran CI, then merged.
    new_rule: Always rebase onto the target branch before requesting merge to catch regressions.

    date: 2026-05-13
    category: development
    severity: high
    context: FastAPI service pinning pydantic>=2.0. Agent wrote model using v1 Config syntax.
    what_happened: Model used class Config with orm_mode and .dict(); broke at runtime on Pydantic v2.
    root_cause: Agent defaulted to v1 patterns without checking the installed Pydantic version.
    impact: Runtime ValidationError on first request; service failed to start in CI.
    resolution: Rewrote model using model_config = ConfigDict(...) and model_dump(); tests passed.
    new_rule: Always use Pydantic v2 syntax (model_config, model_dump) unless the project explicitly pins Pydantic v1.

    date: 2026-05-13
    category: development
    severity: high
    context: LangChain service. Agent wrote a new chain using LLMChain constructor.
    what_happened: Used LLMChain(llm=..., prompt=...) removed in LangChain v0.2+; chain failed at import.
    root_cause: Agent defaulted to pre-LCEL patterns without checking LangChain version.
    impact: ImportError at startup; chain unusable until rewritten.
    resolution: Rewrote chain using LCEL pipe syntax; tests passed.
    new_rule: Always use LCEL pipe operator syntax for new chains instead of deprecated constructor-based chain classes.
    target_file: skills/langchain/SKILL.md

  - id: ERR-2026-027
    date: 2026-05-13
    category: development
    severity: medium
    context: Agent added architecture diagram to repo by committing only the PNG export.
    what_happened: Committed architecture.png without the .drawio source; reviewers could not diff or edit.
    root_cause: Assumed the rendered image was sufficient; did not consider future editability.
    impact: Diagram uneditable without re-creating from scratch; review blocked.
    resolution: Added the .drawio source file alongside the PNG export.
    new_rule: Always commit diagram source files alongside or instead of rendered image exports.
    target_file: skills/drawio/SKILL.md

  - id: ERR-2026-028
    date: 2026-05-13
    category: development
    severity: medium
    context: Agent asked to design rate limiting for a REST API; immediately proposed one solution.
    what_happened: Committed to Redis token bucket without exploring alternatives.
    root_cause: Converged on the first plausible solution without a divergent generation phase.
    impact: Suboptimal architecture chosen; rework required after stakeholder review.
    resolution: Generated three alternatives, evaluated against criteria, selected the best fit.
    new_rule: Always generate at least three alternatives before committing to an approach.

  - id: ERR-2026-029
    date: 2026-05-13
    category: development
    severity: medium
    context: Agent tasked with adding a new API endpoint; began writing code immediately.
    what_happened: Started implementing without listing affected files; missed updating the schema file.
    root_cause: No pre-implementation file touch list; scope not fully enumerated before coding.
    impact: Schema mismatch caused runtime error; additional debugging cycle required.
    resolution: Produced a file touch list first; identified the missing schema update before coding.
    new_rule: Always list all files that will be modified before beginning implementation.
