At a glance

Structured error reporting format for triage failures — ERRORCONTEXT format so next tier can resume without re-doing completed work.

  • SKILL.md covers Format, Rules and Example
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Error Propagation is an agent skill from papadopouloskyriakos/agentic-chatops. Structured error reporting format for triage failures — ERRORCONTEXT format so next tier can resume without re-doing completed work.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 3-tier agentic ChatOps (n8n + GPT-4o + Claude Code) implementing all 21 patterns from "Agentic Design Patterns" — solo operator managing 137 devices.

Example prompts

  • “/error-propagation”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 473f057. 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:

    • Bash

    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.

Context cost

Error Propagation loads about 477 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 124 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~477

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 124 words (~477 tokens).

“When a triage script fails or you encounter errors during investigation, you MUST report structured error context so the next tier (Claude Code or human) can pick up where you left off without re-doing completed work.”
