Check Error Handling

Check Error Handling Skill

Purpose

Quick validation that error handling follows the unified AppResult/AppError pattern (commit b592b5e). Detects anyhow regression and ensures proper use of ErrorCode enum.

CLAUDE.md Compliance

• ✅ Enforces structured error types (no anyhow)
• ✅ Validates ErrorCode usage
• ✅ Prevents error handling regression

Usage

Run this skill:

• Before committing error handling changes
• Daily pre-commit validation
• After merging branches
• When reviewing error-related PRs

Prerequisites

• ripgrep (rg)

Success Criteria

• ✅ Zero use anyhow imports in src/
• ✅ Zero anyhow!() macro usage
• ✅ AppResult usage > 100 occurrences
• ✅ ErrorCode usage present
• ✅ Error types exported from lib.rs

Expected Output (Success)

🔍 Checking for anyhow usage...
✓ PASS: No anyhow imports
✓ PASS: No anyhow! macro
✓ AppResult usage: 287 occurrences
✓ ErrorCode usage: 412 occurrences

✅ Error handling check PASSED

Failure Example

🔍 Checking for anyhow usage...
❌ FAIL: anyhow imports detected!
src/new_feature.rs:5:use anyhow::{anyhow, Result};
src/new_feature.rs:23:    return Err(anyhow!("Something failed"));

Fixing Violations

Replace anyhow import

// ❌ Before
use anyhow::{anyhow, Context, Result};

// ✅ After
use crate::errors::{AppError, AppResult, ErrorCode};

Replace anyhow! macro

// ❌ Before
return Err(anyhow!("Database connection failed"));

// ✅ After
return Err(AppError::new(
    ErrorCode::DatabaseError,
    "Database connection failed".to_string()
));

Replace .context() method

// ❌ Before
let user = db.get_user(id).context("Failed to fetch user")?;

// ✅ After
let user = db.get_user(id)
    .map_err(|e| AppError::new(
        ErrorCode::DatabaseError,
        format!("Failed to fetch user {}: {}", id, e)
    ))?;
