fp-ts-errors
Handle errors as values using fp-ts Either and TaskEither for cleaner, more predictable TypeScript code. Use when implementing error handling patterns with fp-ts.
Practical Error Handling with fp-ts
This skill teaches you how to handle errors without try/catch spaghetti. No academic jargon - just practical patterns for real problems.
Detailed Guide
Read [the detailed guide](references/detailed-guide.md) before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely.
When to Use This Skill
- When you want type-safe error handling in TypeScript
- When replacing try/catch with Either and TaskEither patterns
- When building APIs or services that need explicit error types
- When accumulating multiple validation errors
The core idea: Errors are just data. Instead of throwing them into the void and hoping someone catches them, return them as values that TypeScript can track.
Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
