Lindy Common Errors

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Encountering errors
• Debugging agent failures
• Resolving integration problems
• With phrases like lindy error

Example prompts

• “lindy error”
• “lindy not working”
• “debug lindy”
• “/lindy-common-errors”

Requirements

• A credential in YOUR_SECRET
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(curl:*), Grep

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Capture the failing run identifier, trigger payload shape, and first failing
2. 2Reproduce the behavior in a test agent or disabled workflow using a bounded
3. 3Apply the smallest trace-supported remediation, then rerun both the failure

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
  • Write
  • Edit
  • Bash(curl:*)
  • Grep

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl

  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:

  • public.lindy.ai

  Also links to:

  • docs.lindy.ai
  • status.lindy.ai

  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

  Designed for Claude Code

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Lindy Common Errors loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 784 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~74

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

~1.9k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~3.7k

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.
