contingency

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automatically handles failures in other skills, preventing infinite loops and ensuring that processes don't halt due to unexpected errors, rate limits, or resource exhaustion.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated Escalation: Implements a multi-level escalation ladder (Retry, Simplify, Isolate, Decompose, Pause) based on failure type and attempt count.
• Robust Error Handling: Manages various failure scenarios including test failures, build errors, rate limits, credit exhaustion, and unknown errors.
• State Preservation: Saves the current state of operations before pausing, allowing for seamless resumption later.
• Use Case: If a code review skill fails to complete a task due to a rate limit, the contingency skill will automatically pause the process, save the current state, and notify the user with instructions on how to resume.

Quick Start

Invoke the contingency skill to handle a failed task by providing the failure type and error message.
