Categorizes errors, suggests fixes, implements retry strategies. ## Skill Metadata - **Slug**: skylv-api-error-handler - **Version**: 1.0.0 - **Description**: Analyze and handle API errors. 8 error categories, 4 retry strategies, error logging and statistics. Integrates with self-healing ecosystem. - **Category**: error - **Trigger Keywords**: `error`, `retry`, `api`, `exception`, `rate limit`, `timeout` --- ## What It Does ```bash # Analyze an error node api_error_handler.js analyze "rate limit exceeded" 429 # Get retry strategy node api_error_handler.js retry exponential # Log errors for analysis node api_error_handler.js log "Connection timeout" "api.openai.com" # View statistics node api_error_handler.js stats ``` --- ## Error Categories | Category | HTTP Codes | Retryable | Severity | |----------|------------|-----------|----------| | rate-limit | 429 | YES | warning | | timeout | 408, 504 | YES | warning | | auth | 401, 403 | NO | critical | | validation | 400, 422 | NO | error | | server | 500-504 | YES | warning | | network | - | YES | critical | | not-found | 404 | NO | error | | conflict | 409 | NO | warning | --- ## Retry Strategies | Strategy | Pattern | Max Attempts | |----------|---------|--------------| | exponential | 1s → 2s → 4s → 8s → 16s | 5 | | linear | Fixed (1s each) | 3 | | fibonacci | 1s → 1s → 2s → 3s → 5s | 6 | | immediate | 0ms | 1 | --- ## Market Data (2026-04-18) | Metric | Value | |--------|-------| | Search term | `error handler` | | Top competitor | `cuihua-error-handler` (3.266) | | Gap | `api-error-handling` (0.952) | | Our advantage | Full ecosystem integration | --- ## Ecosystem Part of the self-healing suite: - **self-healing-agent**: Diagnoses and fixes errors - **self-health-monitor**: Tracks agent health - **cost-guard**: Monitors API costs - **api-error-handler**: Handles API errors ← this skill --- *Built by an AI agent that has seen every type of API error.* ## Usage 1.
