name: error-recoverer description: Intelligent error detection and recovery for autonomous coding. Use when handling errors, implementing retry logic, recovering from failures, or managing exception handling. version: 1.0.0 category: autonomous-coding layer: verification-recovery

Error Recoverer

Detects, classifies, and recovers from errors during autonomous coding sessions.

Quick Start

Handle Error

Copyfrom scripts.error_recoverer import ErrorRecoverer

recoverer = ErrorRecoverer(project_dir)
result = await recoverer.handle_error(error, context)

if result.recovered:
    print(f"Recovered via: {result.strategy}")
else:
    print(f"Failed: {result.reason}")

Automatic Recovery

Copy@recoverer.with_recovery
async def risky_operation():
    # Operation that might fail
    pass

Recovery Strategies

Copyclass RecoveryStrategy(Enum):
    RETRY = "retry"              # Simple retry
    RETRY_BACKOFF = "backoff"    # Exponential backoff
    ROLLBACK = "rollback"        # Restore checkpoint
    FIX_AND_RETRY = "fix_retry"  # Apply fix, then retry
    SKIP = "skip"                # Skip and continue
    ESCALATE = "escalate"        # Human intervention

Integration Points

• memory-manager: Query/store causal chains
• checkpoint-manager: Rollback on failure
• coding-agent: Provide fixes for code errors
• progress-tracker: Log error metrics
