API Error Handling extends your AI assistant with the ability to error handling patterns across languages and layers β operational vs programmer errors, retry strategies, circuit breakers, error boundaries, HTTP responses, graceful degradation, and structured logging. Use when designing error strategies, building resilient APIs, or reviewing error management. Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly β and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using API Error Handling as its underlying capability.
API Error Handling works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) β an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install API Error Handling once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.
To install API Error Handling, copy the skill folder to `~/.claude/skills/api-error-handling/` for use across all your projects, or `.claude/skills/api-error-handling/` for a single project. Restart Claude and the skill is immediately active β invoke it with `/api-error-handling` or just describe your goal and the AI will pick it up automatically.
API Error Handling has been installed 1,317 times, making it one of the more actively used skills in the Developer & DevOps category. The install rate suggests it solves a real, recurring need rather than a niche edge case. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
Place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/api-error-handling/ for personal use (all projects), or .claude/skills/api-error-handling/ for project-specific use. Restart your AI client, then invoke with /api-error-handling or let the AI discover it automatically.
API Error Handling supports Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw. It integrates seamlessly with these AI platforms to extend their capabilities.
API Error Handling is free to install. Check the repository for licensing information.
