Contains Shell Commands
This skill contains shell command directives (!`command`) that may execute system commands. Review carefully before installing.
Error-Swallowing Scanner
Detect syntactic patterns that suppress errors without surfacing them to a log,
user channel, or caller. Unlike /code:silent-degradation — which targets
logical silent failures (success on empty results) — this skill targets the
syntactic act of discarding an error signal.
When to Use This Skill
| Use this skill when... | Use another skill instead when... |
|---|---|
| Scripts report success but real work failed | /code:silent-degradation — operation "succeeds" with zero results |
| ` | |
| Floating promises or ignored Go/Rust errors | /code:review — you want prose code review |
| You need severity classification for error suppression | /code:lint — a linter already flags the issue |
| You want a context-aware surfacing recommendation | /code:dead-code — you suspect code never runs |
