Choose-by-Consequence AI: Master Error Handling & Decision Paths

Choose-by-Consequence AI: Master Error Handling & Decision Paths

The Choose-by-Consequence AI skill assists developers in managing error handling and decision paths during unusual or failing conditions in their code. It evaluates options, emphasizing scenarios where actions can affect files, data, and output, favoring routes that fail visibly while ensuring integrity and consistency in execution.

What this skill does

• Enables AI agents to make informed decisions when encountering atypical conditions such as symbolic links, missing tools, or timeout errors.
• Compares potential error-handling actions by assessing their impact on user files, data, and outputs.
• Selects the option that makes failures apparent, ensures correct exit codes, and updates summary counts and outputs accurately.
• Prevents write operations through files not owned by the change, including symbolic link targets, blocking unauthorized paths and naming both involved paths.

Who it is for

This skill is designed for developers and development teams leveraging AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, who require nuanced error handling within their applications.

Use cases

• Handling a symbolic link encountered during file operations without compromising file integrity.
• Deciding behavior paths when a required tool is missing or a critical operation reaches a timeout.
• Situations where maintaining accurate output summaries and exit codes in the face of errors is crucial.
• Ensuring that unauthorized writes do not occur through symbolic link targets during deployment.
