error-analysis

error-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from yonatangross/orchestkit. It costs 61 tokens per session (3,407 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for studying failures in large-language-model applications by grouping real usage records into named failure types. It uses Langfuse records or JSONL files, with a person confirming the groups before measurements are chosen.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps analyse chatbots, retrieval systems, agents, and data extractors, then identify recurring failure types worth checking with pass/fail evaluations.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork about which evaluations to build with counts from actual failures. It also shows whether an existing score or reviewer agrees with human judgments.

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-analysis scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 16d 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.

Error Analysis

Evals-first failure analysis for LLM applications. The method (Hamel Husain, Shreya Shankar) is qualitative research applied to traces: a human open-codes real failures, Claude axial-codes the notes into a named taxonomy, and only the recurring named modes earn an automated eval. Error analysis decides what to measure; it never writes an eval for a mode that has no name and no count.

When to Use

  • An LLM feature (chatbot, RAG, agent, extractor) misbehaves and the team is guessing which evals to write
  • You have production traces in Langfuse (or a JSONL export) and need the top failure modes with counts
  • Eval scores exist but nobody trusts them because they were never grounded in real failures
  • A judge or metric exists and its agreement with human labels is unknown

Do NOT use for Claude Code session errors (errors skill), failing CI runs (ci-debug), or writing the evaluators themselves once modes are named (testing-llm, ork:eval-runner).

Task Management (CC 2.1.16)

Multi-phase workflow: create tasks before Phase 1 and keep status current.

t_pull = TaskCreate(subject="Pull traces", activeForm="Pulling traces")
t_open = TaskCreate(subject="Open-code failure notes", activeForm="Open-coding traces")
t_axial = TaskCreate(subject="Axial-code failure taxonomy", activeForm="Axial-coding notes")
t_tax  = TaskCreate(subject="Write failure-taxonomy.md", activeForm="Writing taxonomy")
t_eval = TaskCreate(subject="Recommend evals + judge alignment", activeForm="Recommending evals")

TaskUpdate(taskId=t_axial, addBlockedBy=[t_open])
TaskUpdate(taskId=t_tax,   addBlockedBy=[t_axial])
TaskUpdate(taskId=t_eval,  addBlockedBy=[t_tax])

Effort Scaling (CC 2.1.76)

error-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository yonatangross/orchestkit (295 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 3,407 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-25.
