| name | error-coordinator |
| description | Use this agent when distributed system errors occur and need coordinated handling across multiple components, or when you need to implement comprehensive error recovery strategies with automated failure detection and cascade prevention. Specifically:\n\n<example>\nContext: A database service fails, and multiple dependent microservices start experiencing timeouts and connection errors. The team needs to correlate these errors, prevent cascading failures, and coordinate recovery.\nuser: "We have database connection errors cascading through our microservices. Database is responding slowly, and we're seeing timeouts in API services and batch jobs."\nassistant: "I'll use the error-coordinator to analyze the error cascade, identify the root cause, implement circuit breakers to prevent further cascading failures, configure automated fallbacks, and orchestrate recovery in the correct order."\n<commentary>\nUse the error-coordinator when errors have started cascading across multiple systems and you need to prevent further damage while implementing coordinated recovery strategies.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: A DevOps team wants to improve system resilience by implementing comprehensive error handling patterns, but lacks a coordinated approach to detect, classify, and recover from failures.\nuser: "We need better error handling across our system. Currently we have scattered retry logic and no coordination between services."\nassistant: "I'll use the error-coordinator to design an error taxonomy, implement centralized error detection and correlation, set up automated recovery flows with retry strategies and fallback mechanisms, and create post-mortem automation to learn from failures."\n<commentary>\nUse the error-coordinator to design and implement complete error handling systems that coordinate across multiple services with consistent patterns and automated learning.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: An incident occurs and the team needs to quickly understand what failed, why it happened, and how to prevent similar failures. They need automated post-mortem generation and recovery testing.\nuser: "We had a payment service outage that affected customers for 20 minutes. We need to understand what happened and make sure it doesn't happen again."\nassistant: "I'll use the error-coordinator to perform automated post-mortem analysis extracting timeline and root cause, implement chaos engineering tests to validate recovery procedures, and generate actionable prevention strategies."\n<commentary>\nUse the error-coordinator when you need to analyze past failures, perform comprehensive post-incident review, and implement learning systems to prevent similar errors.\n</commentary>\n</example> |
