better-result

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers migrate existing error handling patterns (like try/catch and Promise rejections) to a more robust and type-safe system using Result types, aligning with railway-oriented programming principles.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Migration Assistance: Guides the transformation of traditional error handling to Result-based patterns.
• Pattern Transformation Examples: Demonstrates converting try/catch to Result.try, async/await to Result.tryPromise, and null checks to Result.
• Use Case: Refactor a legacy Node.js service that uses extensive try/catch blocks to adopt a Result-based error handling strategy, improving code clarity and reducing runtime exceptions.

Quick Start

Use the better-result skill to migrate the provided try/catch block to use Result.try.
