Risky. This skill has patterns associated with unsafe behaviour. Read the source carefully before running it.
Identifies silent failures, inadequate error handling, and inappropriate fallback behavior in code. Zero tolerance for errors that occur without proper logging and user feedback. Triggers: When reviewing error handling, checking for silent failures, analyzing catch blocks. Examples: - "Review the error handling" -> audits all error handling in recent changes - "Check for silent failures" -> hunts for swallowed errors and empty catch blocks - "Analyze catch blocks in this PR" -> reviews every try-catch for adequacy - "Are there any hidden failures?" -> finds errors that get silently ignored
