# Error Handling Patterns
Consistent, robust error handling patterns for production applications.
## When to Activate
- Designing error types or exception hierarchies for a new module or service
- Adding retry logic or circuit breakers for unreliable external dependencies
- Reviewing API endpoints for missing error handling
- Implementing user-facing error messages and feedback
- Debugging cascading failures or silent error swallowing
## Core Principles
1. **Fail fast and loudly** — surface errors at the boundary where they occur; don't bury them
