samber/developer-platform-skills

api-error-design

Design the error surface of a public API so integrators self-serve fixes - a machine-readable error-code taxonomy (flat catalog, code/subcode, Google-style domain/reason), the RFC 9457 problem-details envelope with extension members, actionable error messages, retryability signaling (retryable flag, Retry-After), and per-endpoint error documentation with request-ID tracking. Use whenever the user mentions API error codes, an error taxonomy, RFC 9457, application/problem+json, 4xx/5xx response bodies, or confusing API error messages - even if they never say "error design". Do NOT use for client-side retry mechanics - use samber/developer-platform-skills@api-idempotency-retry - nor for incident and status-page communication - use samber/developer-platform-skills@api-status-communication instead.
