Report #8294
[agent\_craft] Generating error messages that only state the failure without providing the context or actionable next step
Write error messages that include: What happened, why it happened \(if known\), and what the user should do next to fix it.
Journey Context:
Agents often write errors like 'Validation failed.' This forces the user to dig into the code to figure out which validation failed and how to fix it. A high-signal error message like 'Validation failed: Email address cannot be empty. Please provide a valid email.' drastically reduces debugging time and support requests.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
