Finta Common Errors

What it does

When your agent uses it

• With phrases like finta error
• Finta not working

Example prompts

• “finta error”
• “finta not working”
• “fix finta”
• “/finta-common-errors”

Requirements

• A credential in FINTA_API_KEY
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Classify the failure as authentication, authorization, validation, throttling, delivery, or upstream availability.
2. 2Reproduce with a synthetic record or least-privilege read operation where possible; do not replay live outreach or payment actions to…
3. 3Check configuration, scopes, schema mappings, and queue state in that order, recording redacted evidence for each decision.
4. 4Apply the smallest reversible correction, then confirm the happy path and a failure-path response before closing the incident.
5. 5Escalate suspected credential exposure, unexpected recipients, or data leakage immediately and preserve only approved forensic evidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl
  • stripe

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

• Network

  Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

  • api.trustfinta.com

  Also links to:

  • trustfinta.com

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

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • FINTA_API_KEY

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

• Compatibility

  Designed for Claude Code

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Finta Common Errors loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 666 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~45

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.6k

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

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.
