SKILL-006: Error-State Recovery

Overview

Agents often fail due to transient or trivial errors (e.g., missing Python module, locked file, timeout). This skill provides a Invoke-Recoverable wrapper that catches these errors, attempts to apply known fixes, and retries the operation.

Trigger Phrases

• run with recovery
• auto-fix <command>
• try hard <command>

Inputs

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
--command	string	Yes	-	The command to execute
--retries	int	No	3	Max retry attempts
--heuristics	switch	No	True	Enable heuristic auto-fixes (pip, npm, mkdir)

Outputs

1. Success: Standard output of the command.
2. Failure: ERROR_STATE.json containing the stack trace, context, and failed fix attempts.

Supported Heuristics

1. Python ModuleNotFoundError: Auto-runs pip install <module>.
2. DirectoryNotFound: Auto-runs mkdir -p.
3. File Locked: Waits 2s and retries.
4. CLI Missing: Checks standard paths for tool (e.g., forge, dotnet).

Preconditions

1. PowerShell 7+

Implementation
