handle-backend-async-errors

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the complexities of managing asynchronous operations and propagating errors effectively within backend services, ensuring consistent error handling and response mapping.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Consistent Error Types: Defines and utilizes a standardized set of error types for backend operations.
• Error Propagation: Implements mechanisms to ensure errors in async functions are caught and handled correctly.
• Response Mapping: Maps internal error representations to consistent external API responses.
• Use Case: When a database query within an async route handler fails, this skill ensures the error is caught, logged, and returned to the client with a standardized error code and message, rather than crashing the server or returning an unhelpful raw error.

Quick Start

Use the handle-backend-async-errors skill to set up a try-catch block for an async function that fetches user data.
