retry-utils

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that commands execute successfully by automatically retrying them with configurable strategies when they fail.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automatic Retries: Execute commands that might fail intermittently, like network requests or temporary service unavailability.
• Configurable Strategies: Supports exponential backoff, linear backoff, jitter, and custom delay sequences for intelligent retry timing.
• Error Conditionals: Retry only on specific error patterns or exit codes, and continue until a condition is met or a timeout occurs.
• Use Case: Automatically retry a deployment script that might fail due to a temporary network glitch, ensuring the deployment eventually succeeds.

Quick Start

Run the command 'npm install' with exponential backoff and a maximum of 5 retries.
