What it does

Brightdata Common Errors is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Analyze Bright Data proxy and dataset failures using current provider codes without bypassing policy controls. Use when diagnosing 407, 403, 429, 502, snapshot, or delivery failures. Trigger with: "diagnose a Bright Data error", "what does this x-brd code mean", "triage a failed snapshot".

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires an approved Bright Data account or offline fixtures, current Bright Data documentation, and an authorized public-data collection purpose

It works with Bright Data. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Delivery failures
  • With: diagnose a Bright Data error
  • What does this x-brd code mean
  • Triage a failed snapshot

Example prompts

  • “diagnose a Bright Data error”
  • “what does this x-brd code mean”
  • “triage a failed snapshot”
  • “/brightdata-common-errors”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires an approved Bright Data account or offline fixtures, current Bright Data documentation, and an authorized public-data collection purpose
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Bash(curl:*)

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Collect minimal evidence
  2. Identify the layer
  3. Reproduce safely
  4. Choose the response

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Bash(curl:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.brightdata.com
    • brightdata.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Requires an approved Bright Data account or offline fixtures, current Bright Data documentation, and an authorized public-data collection purpose

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Brightdata Common Errors loads about 877 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 325 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~877
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Bright Data Failure Triage

Overview

Separate provider, target, client, and policy failures using HTTP status, Proxy-Status, and current x-brd-* fields. Never treat an access or compliance denial as a cue to rotate products, regions, or identities.

Prerequisites

  • A redacted response or snapshot receipt
  • The zone, product, operation ID, and approved target class
  • Access to the current Bright Data error catalog and network-status page

Instructions

Step 1: Collect minimal evidence

Read the receipt and Grep for status, Proxy-Status, x-brd-err-code, x-brd-error, x-brd-err-msg, snapshot state, and request time. Exclude credentials, full URLs, and bodies.

Step 2: Identify the layer

Classify authentication (407/client), policy (403/policy), throttling (429), peer/target (408/502), provider incident, or dataset lifecycle failure.

Step 3: Reproduce safely

Use Bash(curl:*) only for one authorized provider test endpoint or a read-only status check. Do not reproduce against a sensitive target or change network type to defeat a denial.

Step 4: Choose the response

Fix deterministic client/auth errors; back off transient/provider errors within budget; pause policy, target-data, account, empty, or persistent errors for owner review.

Tool Discipline

Use Read and Grep to analyze redacted evidence. Use Bash(curl:*) only for a bounded provider-controlled test. This workflow never writes raw response data, prints credentials, or authorizes product or identity switching.

Output

  • Failure layer and documented provider code
  • Retry, repair, pause, or escalate decision
  • Redacted evidence bundle identifier and owner

Examples

For 429 with a per-IP code, reduce pressure and review distribution; do not automatically rotate to more identities. For a policy 403, stop. For a provider-wide incident, preserve the receipt and wait for recovery.

Error Handling
