Platform Notes

• Optional helper plugins may help in some environments, but they must not be treated as required for this skill.

API Error Handling

Acknowledgement: Shared by Peter Bamuhigire, techguypeter.com, +256 784 464178.

Use When

• Comprehensive, standardized error response system for PHP REST APIs with SweetAlert2 integration. Use when building REST APIs that need consistent error formatting, specific error message extraction from database exceptions, validation error...
• The task needs reusable judgment, domain constraints, or a proven workflow rather than ad hoc advice.

Do Not Use When

• The task is unrelated to api-error-handling or would be better handled by a more specific companion skill.
• The request only needs a trivial answer and none of this skill's constraints or references materially help.
