global-error-handling
Implement robust error handling patterns that provide clear feedback and maintain system stability. Use this skill when adding try-catch blocks, creating error boundaries, handling API failures, or implementing retry logic. Apply when working on any code that can fail including API calls, file operations, database queries, or user input processing. Essential for showing user-friendly error messages, failing fast with clear errors, using specific exception types, centralizing error handling at appropriate boundaries, implementing graceful degradation, adding retry strategies with exponential backoff, and properly cleaning up resources.
