error-handling

error-handling is a skill for Claude Code from vinnie357/claude-skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (202 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Rust programming guidance for handling operations that can succeed or fail, optional values, and custom errors. Rust is a programming language; Result and Option are its standard types for representing these cases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working with Result, Option, the ? operator, thiserror, anyhow, or custom error types.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose consistent ways to propagate errors and explain failures in Rust programs.

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 9d 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

Rust Error Handling

Result, Option, error propagation, and custom error types.

For Result, Option, ? operator, custom error type patterns, and the thiserror/anyhow ecosystem crates, see references/error-handling.md.

Anti-fabrication

This skill follows core:anti-fabrication. Every claim about Result/Option behavior, the ? operator, and the thiserror/anyhow crate APIs is verified against the official documentation and crates.io versions cited in sources.md — not inferred from generic familiarity with the ecosystem. Before asserting an error-handling pattern or crate API this skill and its references do not cover, check the installed crate version's docs.rs page rather than guessing.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
