Error Code and Troubleshooting Reference
Error Code and Troubleshooting Reference
Prompt playbooks for building structured error code catalogs with HTTP status codes, error bodies, common causes, and resolution steps. Useful for support engineers and API consumers because error references must map every possible error response to actionable remediation, rate limit headers, and retry guidance.
HTTP Status Code Mapping Prompt for API Errors
For backend engineers standardizing error responses. Maps internal error conditions to appropriate HTTP status codes with rationale, producing a decision table that covers edge cases like 429 vs 503 for overload scenarios. Includes validation against RFC standards and consistency checks across endpoint families.
Structured Error Body Extraction Prompt
For API consumers parsing error responses programmatically. Extracts error codes, messages, details, and remediation hints from raw API error payloads into a normalized schema. Includes field-level confidence scoring and handling for undocumented or malformed error bodies.
Common Cause Classification Prompt for Error Codes
For support engineers categorizing production errors at scale. Classifies error instances into root cause categories with confidence scores, producing a structured taxonomy that feeds into runbooks and dashboards. Includes eval checks for classification consistency and handling of ambiguous or multi-cause errors.
Resolution Step Drafting Prompt for Troubleshooting Guides
For technical writers creating actionable remediation docs. Generates step-by-step resolution procedures for each error code, including prerequisite checks, diagnostic commands, fix actions, and verification steps. Includes safety checks to prevent destructive or irreversible instructions.
Rate Limit Header Interpretation Prompt
For API consumers implementing retry logic. Parses rate limit headers and produces a structured interpretation with remaining quota, reset time, retry-after guidance, and recommended backoff strategy. Includes validation against common header formats and edge cases like missing or conflicting headers.
Retry Guidance Prompt for Transient Errors
For SDK engineers embedding retry policies into client libraries. Produces retry strategy documentation per error code, including backoff algorithm, max attempts, jitter parameters, and idempotency requirements. Includes eval checks for safety on non-idempotent operations and circuit breaker integration points.
Error Code Taxonomy Builder Prompt
For API governance teams standardizing error codes across services. Produces a hierarchical error taxonomy with domain, category, and specific error codes, ensuring consistent naming and non-overlapping semantics. Includes cross-service consistency validation and migration mapping from legacy codes.
Troubleshooting Decision Tree Prompt
For support engineers building interactive diagnostic flows. Produces a decision tree from error code to root cause, with branching questions, diagnostic checkpoints, and terminal resolution leaves. Includes coverage validation to ensure every error code maps to at least one resolution path.
API Error Response Normalization Prompt
For integration engineers consuming errors from multiple APIs. Normalizes heterogeneous error formats into a unified schema, preserving original payloads while producing consistent fields for aggregation and alerting. Includes handling for missing fields, nested errors, and vendor-specific extensions.
Error Body Schema Validation Prompt
For API designers ensuring error responses conform to specification. Validates error response bodies against the documented schema, flagging missing required fields, type mismatches, and undocumented fields. Includes handling for versioned schemas and backward compatibility checks.
Error Severity Classification Prompt
For incident response teams triaging production errors. Classifies errors by severity level based on impact, scope, and recoverability, producing a prioritized triage queue with justification. Includes calibration checks against historical incident data and SLA definitions.
Error Code to Runbook Mapping Prompt
For SRE teams connecting error references to operational runbooks. Maps each error code to the appropriate runbook entry, escalation path, and on-call rotation, producing a lookup table for automated incident response. Includes validation that every critical error has a defined runbook and every runbook maps to real errors.
Error Code Changelog Generation Prompt
For API release managers documenting error code changes. Produces a structured changelog from API diffs, flagging new error codes, deprecated codes, changed semantics, and modified remediation steps. Includes impact assessment for downstream consumers and migration guidance for breaking changes.
Error Code Consistency Audit Prompt
For API governance teams enforcing error response standards. Audits error codes across services for naming consistency, HTTP status code alignment, payload structure uniformity, and remediation guidance quality. Produces a compliance report with specific violations and suggested corrections.
Error Code Remediation Playbook Prompt
For support and operations teams building comprehensive fix guides. Produces a full remediation playbook per error code including diagnostic queries, log patterns to search, configuration checks, rollback procedures, and customer communication templates. Includes review gates for destructive actions.
Error Code SLA Mapping Prompt
For product managers defining error response commitments. Maps error codes to SLA tiers, response time targets, and escalation policies, producing a structured SLA matrix. Includes validation that critical-path errors have appropriate urgency and that SLA definitions are measurable.
Error Code Testing Scenario Prompt
For QA engineers building error handling test suites. Generates test scenarios that trigger each error code, including request construction, precondition setup, and expected response validation. Includes coverage tracking to ensure every documented error code has at least one reproducible test case.
Error Code User-Facing Message Drafting Prompt
For product teams crafting end-user error messages. Transforms technical error codes into clear, actionable user-facing messages with appropriate tone, next steps, and support contact guidance. Includes accessibility checks for screen reader compatibility and localization readiness assessment.
Distributed Tracing Correlation Prompt for Errors
For observability engineers connecting errors to trace context. Produces correlation rules that link error codes to trace attributes, span tags, and log patterns, enabling automated root cause navigation. Includes validation that correlation rules produce accurate trace-to-error mappings in production data.
Error Code Deprecation Notice Prompt
For API product managers communicating error code sunsets. Produces deprecation notices with timelines, replacement error codes, migration steps, and impact assessment for consumers who parse specific error codes. Includes checks for completeness of migration path and clarity of cutoff dates.
Error Code Security Implication Review Prompt
For security engineers reviewing error responses for information leakage. Analyzes error bodies for exposed stack traces, internal paths, database details, or enumeration risks, producing a security review with specific redaction recommendations. Includes checks against OWASP error handling guidelines.
Error Code Idempotency and Retry Safety Prompt
For API designers documenting safe retry behavior per error code. Produces guidance on which errors are safe to retry, which require idempotency keys, and which demand human intervention, with rationale tied to the operation's side effects. Includes validation against the API's idempotency implementation.
Error Code Monitoring Dashboard Configuration Prompt
For SRE teams building error observability dashboards. Produces dashboard specifications with error code aggregations, trend alerts, anomaly thresholds, and SLA burn-down visualizations. Includes validation that dashboard queries match the error taxonomy and alert thresholds align with severity classifications.
