Error Pattern Analysis
Analyze errors captured from Claude Code sessions to identify patterns and get actionable insights.
Quick Start
/errors # Batch analysis of historical error patterns
/debug # CC 2.1.30 real-time debug for current session
When to Use Which
| Command | Purpose | Scope |
|---|---|---|
/errors |
Batch analysis of error patterns (last 24h/7d) | Historical patterns |
/debug |
Real-time debug of current session state | Current session |
/ork:fix-issue |
Full RCA workflow for specific bug | Single issue |
Quick Analysis
# Run batch analysis on last 24h of errors
python .claude/scripts/analyze_errors.py
# Analyze last 7 days
python .claude/scripts/analyze_errors.py --days 7
# Generate markdown report
python .claude/scripts/analyze_errors.py --report
What Gets Captured
The error collector hook captures:
- Tool name (Bash, mcp__memory__search_nodes, etc.)
- Error message (first 500 chars)
- Tool input (command/query that failed)
- Timestamp and session ID
Location: .claude/logs/errors.jsonl
Current Error Rules
Check learned patterns that trigger warnings:
cat .claude/rules/error_rules.json | jq '.rules[] | {id, signature, count: .occurrence_count}'

Common Patterns
Connection Refused / Wrong Port
pattern: ECONNREFUSED|connection refused|ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED|connect ECONNREFUSED
fix: The port may have changed or the service isn't running.
1. Check services: portless list (if installed)
2. Use named URLs: api.localhost:1355 instead of localhost:PORT
3. Fallback: lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -nP | grep -E 'node|python|java'
4. Install Portless to avoid port guessing: npm i -g portless
pattern: ERR_CONNECTION_RESET|ECONNRESET|socket hang up
fix: Service may have crashed. Check process logs, restart the service,
and use agent-browser to verify the app is responding:
agent-browser open "http://myapp.localhost:1355"
PostgreSQL Connection Errors
pattern: role "X" does not exist
fix: Use Docker connection: docker exec -it orchestkit-postgres-dev psql -U orchestkit_user -d orchestkit_dev
pattern: relation "X" does not exist
fix: Check MCP postgres server connection string - may be connected to wrong database
Hook Errors (CC 2.1.98)
Since CC 2.1.98, hook errors show the first line of stderr directly in the transcript — no need for --debug:
pattern: hook.*error|hook.*failed|PreToolUse.*error
diagnosis: Read the stderr line shown in the transcript.
1. If path error → check CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is set
2. If JSON parse error → hook is returning invalid JSON
3. If timeout → hook exceeds 50ms budget (PreToolUse) or 100ms (PostToolUse)
4. If "module not found" → run: cd src/hooks && npm run build

Adding New Rules
Rules are auto-generated by analyze_errors.py when patterns repeat 2+ times.
For manual rules, edit .claude/rules/error_rules.json:
{
"id": "custom-001",
"pattern": "your regex pattern",
"signature": "human readable signature",
"tool": "Bash",
"occurrence_count": 1,
"fix_suggestion": "How to fix this"
}

expect
Diff-aware AI browser testing — analyzes git changes, generates targeted test plans, and executes them via agent-browser. Reads git diff to determine what changed, maps changes to affected pages via route map, generates a test plan scoped to the diff, and runs it with pass/fail reporting. Use when testing UI changes, verifying PRs before merge, running regression checks on changed components, or validating that recent code changes don't break the user-facing experience.
github-operations
GitHub CLI operations for issues, PRs, milestones, and Projects v2. Covers gh commands, REST API patterns, and automation scripts. Use when managing GitHub issues, PRs, milestones, or Projects with gh.
chain-patterns
Chain patterns for CC 2.1.71 pipelines — MCP detection, handoff files, checkpoint-resume, worktree agents, CronCreate monitoring. Use when building multi-phase pipeline skills. Loaded via skills: field by pipeline skills (fix-issue, implement, brainstorm, verify). Not user-invocable.
storybook-mcp-integration
Storybook MCP server integration for component-aware AI development. Covers 6 tools across 3 toolsets (dev, docs, testing): component discovery via list-all-documentation/get-documentation, story previews via preview-stories, and automated testing via run-story-tests. Use when generating components that should reuse existing Storybook components, running component tests via MCP, or previewing stories in chat.
component-search
Search 21st.dev component registry for production-ready React components. Finds components by natural language description, filters by framework and style system, returns ranked results with install instructions. Use when looking for UI components, finding alternatives to existing components, or sourcing design system building blocks.
ai-ui-generation
AI-assisted UI generation patterns for json-render, v0, Bolt, and Cursor workflows. Covers prompt engineering for component generation, review checklists for AI-generated code, design token injection, refactoring for design system conformance, and CI gates for quality assurance. Use when generating UI components with AI tools, rendering multi-surface MCP visual output, reviewing AI-generated code, or integrating AI output into design systems.
