global-error-handling

Features and purpose

Implement robust error handling with user-friendly messages, specific exception types (ISP), centralized error boundaries (SRP), fail-fast validation (KISS), graceful degradation, retry strategies, and proper resource cleanup. Use this skill when adding try-catch blocks, throwing or catching exceptions, creating error classes, implementing error boundaries or middleware, displaying error messages to users, or handling async errors and promise rejections. Use when working with error handling in any language (.ts, .js, .py, .java, .go) across backend services, API endpoints, frontend components, or data processing pipelines. Use when implementing exponential backoff for external service calls or ensuring resources are cleaned up in finally blocks.
