About
This skill implements retry logic with exponential backoff and fallback mechanisms to handle transient failures in distributed systems. It's designed for network requests and external service calls that occasionally fail, providing graceful degradation when dependencies are unavailable. Key features include configurable retry limits, jitter to prevent thundering herd problems, and fallback to alternative data sources when primary services fail.
