error-handling

SKILL.md

Production-ready error handling for Python APIs using the Let it crash philosophy.

Let it crash - Don't be defensive. Let exceptions propagate naturally and handle them at boundaries.

| Need to retry | tenacity.retry() for transient failures | | Need to transform | Wrap third-party SDK errors as domain errors | | Need to clean up | Use finally or context managers | | Need to add context | raise DomainError(...) from original |

Python error handling patterns for FastAPI, Pydantic, and asyncio. Follows "Let it crash" philosophy - raise exceptions, catch at boundaries. Covers HTTPException, global exception handlers, validation errors, background task failures. Use when: (1) Designing API error responses, (2) Handling RequestValidationError, (3) Managing async exceptions, (4) Preventing stack trace leakage, (5) Designing custom exception hierarchies.
