error-before-guess
error-before-guess is an Agent behaviour & coding discipline skill for AI agents, published by weikinhuang in the dotfiles repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates error-before-guess F (45/100) and the safety scan rated it risky; the rating is based on static analysis only.
Risky. This skill has patterns associated with unsafe behaviour. Read the source carefully before running it.
WHAT: When a command fails, quote the literal error line from its stderr/stdout before proposing a fix, and re-read the exact source (file + line, env var, config key) the error points at. WHEN: Any non-zero exit from a build, test, lint, install, or runtime command. DO-NOT: Skip straight to "let me try X"; do not silently retry the same command; do not guess at the cause when the error names the file, symbol, or value that is wrong.
