Summary
Adds
skills/uipath-coded-workflows/GUIDANCE-error-handling.md— a comprehensive reference for building robust, self-recovering coded workflows.Contents:
RetryHelperclass + inline loop pattern withIsTransient()predicateMotivation
Coded workflows that fail on the first exception and lose progress are a common pain point. The existing skill teaches how to write workflows but doesn't cover how to make them resilient. This guidance file fills that gap without modifying the core SKILL.md, following the pattern established by other
GUIDANCE-*.mdfiles in the repo.Test plan
