What it does

Mistral Common Errors is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Diagnose Mistral authentication, validation, throttling, model, transport, and provider failures without unsafe retries. Use when an integration fails. Trigger with "Mistral error", "fix a Mistral 429", or "debug a failed Mistral request".

Its SKILL.md is about 860 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: Designed for Claude Code; live or external Mistral actions require network access and explicit approval

It sits in Backend & APIs. It works with Mistral AI. 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

  • An integration fails
  • With Mistral error
  • Fix a Mistral 429
  • Debug a failed Mistral request

Example prompts

  • “Mistral error”
  • “fix a Mistral 429”
  • “debug a failed Mistral request”
  • “/mistral-common-errors”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; live or external Mistral actions require network access and explicit approval
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Freeze automatic retries and identify ambiguous side effects or state.
  2. Normalize status, request ID, endpoint, model, client, attempts, and elapsed time.
  3. Validate the request locally against the current endpoint contract.
  4. Check account, model access, current usage limits, and billing with authorized evidence.
  5. Classify and choose bounded mitigation: fix config/input, wait, reduce demand, or escalate.
  6. Reproduce once with synthetic data only when approved; revert temporary diagnostics.

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
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit

    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

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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; live or external Mistral actions require network access and explicit approval

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Mistral Common Errors loads about 858 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 347 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~858
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.1k

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.

Mistral Error Triage

Overview

Classify failure before changing code or replaying work. Separate local configuration, invalid request, account policy, rate boundary, transient provider, and application parsing failures.

Prerequisites

  • A timestamp, environment, operation, endpoint class, client pin, and sanitized error.
  • The application deadline, idempotency class, and retry budget.
  • Current endpoint and workspace-limit documentation.

Current Contract

HTTP and client errors are evidence, not universal retry instructions. Workspace limits are shared across keys and current dimensions belong to the Admin Panel.

Authentication

Never request or reproduce a key. Confirm only secret-reference resolution, expected host, and environment.

Instructions

  1. Freeze automatic retries and identify ambiguous side effects or state.
  2. Normalize status, request ID, endpoint, model, client, attempts, and elapsed time.
  3. Validate the request locally against the current endpoint contract.
  4. Check account, model access, current usage limits, and billing with authorized evidence.
  5. Classify and choose bounded mitigation: fix config/input, wait, reduce demand, or escalate.
  6. Reproduce once with synthetic data only when approved; revert temporary diagnostics.

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect code, locks, configuration, tests, and evidence. Use Write and Edit only for approved repository changes. Invocation alone does not authorize network calls, paid usage, uploads, stateful resources, admin mutations, deployments, or deletion.

Approval Boundaries

Require approval for replay, limit/spend increase, model substitution, upgrade, or support submission. Never blindly retry stateful work.

Error Handling

  • Repeated 401 calls will not repair a revoked key.
  • Aggressive retries after 429 amplify queued demand.
  • A timeout after submission may be ambiguous; reconcile before repeating.

Output

Return classification, sanitized evidence, likely cause and confidence, ruled-out causes, replay risk, mitigation, owner, and checkpoint. Name the next safe diagnostic if evidence is still inconclusive.

Examples

  • Classify 429 from current workspace evidence and deadline.
  • Treat timed-out batch creation as ambiguous until state is reconciled.

Validation

Prove the fix follows from evidence, preserves idempotency, fits deadline/budget, and exposes no content or credentials.

Resources

  • Current first-party evidence map — recheck dated sources before relying on mutable endpoints, models, limits, prices, preview status, or retention.
  • Record live account observations as environment-specific evidence, not universal Mistral guarantees.
