designing-agent-error-messages

Audit and rewrite error messages, exceptions, and API/SDK/CLI failure output so an AI agent (and a human) can self-correct without leaving the terminal. Use when designing or reviewing how a tool fails — error strings, HTTP error bodies, auth/credential errors, CLI errors, thrown exceptions — especially for libraries, APIs, and CLIs that AI agents consume. Grounded in patterns from 2027.dev's evals of 136 dev tools across 3,500+ agent runs.
