description: Add or update precise revert.wtf catalog entries, fixtures, source metadata, and matcher tests for one or a small set of EVM/RPC/provider/wallet/protocol errors.

revert.wtf Catalog Entry Skill

Use this skill when the task is to add, fix, rename, deprecate, or verify specific entries in the revert.wtf error catalog.

Ground Rules

• Treat packages/catalog/src/data/shards/ as the source of truth.
• Keep source IDs stable. Put display names, aliases, lifecycle labels, legacy/sunsetting/renamed notes, and source references in packages/catalog/src/sources.ts.
• Keep catalog, parser, MCP, CLI, and web result paths package-owned and reproducible.
• Prefer narrow evidence over broad matching. Avoid plain substrings for generated custom errors when a selector exists.
• Use requires for guard context, especially broad JSON-RPC codes like -32000 or generic provider messages.

Workflow

1. Inspect the raw error and classify it:

• layer: evm, rpc, provider, wallet, library, account_abstraction, protocol, or unknown.
• source: ecosystem/library/provider/protocol id.
• category: stable free-form bucket such as revert, json_rpc, gas_estimation, facilitator_verify, or signature.

1. Choose the shard:

• Core standards/providers go under packages/catalog/src/data/shards/core/.
• Protocol/app/ecosystem contracts go under packages/catalog/src/data/shards/ecosystems/.

1. Add a CatalogEntry with:

• globally unique kebab-case id
• human title
• tight patterns
• concise summary
• concrete likelyCauses
• action-oriented nextSteps
• honest retryHelpful, increasingGasHelpful, and confidence
• source-backed references

1. Add or update fixtures under fixtures/<layer-or-source>/ when practical.
2. Add parser or catalog tests when behavior could regress.

Pattern Choices

• Use selector for known custom error selectors.
• Use json_path for structured provider/MCP/facilitator fields such as code, status, invalidReason, or errorReason.
• Use aa_code for ERC-4337 AAxx codes.
• Use exact regexes for revert reason strings generated from source code.
• Use broad substrings only when the phrase is distinctive enough across the whole catalog.

Verification

Run the smallest useful set:

node scripts/build-catalog-data.mjs --generate --dist --check
node --experimental-strip-types scripts/validate-catalog.ts
node scripts/check-catalog-duplicates.mjs --fail-on=id,same-source-selector
node node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc -p packages/catalog/tsconfig.json --noEmit
node node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc -p packages/parser/tsconfig.json --noEmit

If the change touches parser behavior, also run parser tests when the local environment allows it:

pnpm --filter @revertwtf/parser test

On this Windows workspace, recursive pnpm/Vitest or Next commands may fail with spawn EPERM. If that happens, fall back to direct tsc and targeted Node smoke checks, and report the limitation.
