failure-taxonomy

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of recurring failures by systematically categorizing them, tracking their frequency, and implementing preventative measures to reduce their recurrence.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Failure Categorization: Assigns a specific category to each failure event (e.g., test_failure, build_failure, api_error).
• Frequency Tracking: Maintains a count of how often each failure category occurs.
• Preventative Action: Suggests or adds preventive measures to checklists for categories that exceed a certain frequency threshold.
• Use Case: When a test_failure occurs multiple times, the skill can automatically add a reminder to the team's checklist to "Run npm test after each file edit."

Quick Start

Categorize the current failure as a 'timeout' and add a prevention step if it occurs more than twice.
