Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When working with LightAgent's AI capabilities, users currently experience:
- Generic error messages during API failures or model limitations
- No clear guidance when agent responses exceed token limits
- Limited visibility into processing status during complex operations
Proposed Solution
Implement a comprehensive error handling system with:
- Structured Error Codes (e.g.,
LA-401for authentication errors) - Fallback Mechanisms for failed model responses
- User Feedback Options:
- Interactive clarification prompts
- Progress indicators for long operations
- Option to save partial results
Example Implementation
class LightAgentErrorHandler:
ERROR_CODES = {
"LA-429": "Rate limit exceeded - please wait 30 seconds",
"LA-413": "Response too large - try refining your query"
}
def handle_error(self, code):
return self.ERROR_CODES.get(code, "Unexpected error occurred")Alternative Approaches Considered
- Using third-party error tracking services (would increase dependencies)
- Simple text-based errors (less user-friendly)
Additional Context
This enhancement would complement the existing documentation improvements suggested in #42 and align with UX patterns from Anthropic's Claude API.
Acceptance Criteria
- Clear error taxonomy established
- User-facing messages with troubleshooting guidance
- System maintains current response speed (±5%)
- Documentation updates included
