Claude Error Message Improver

Use when your app throws vague errors and you want Claude to suggest clearer, actionable messages.

Why useful

Better errors reduce support and improve DX. Claude can propose user-facing and dev-facing text from context.

Prompt — copy & paste

system / user prompt
You are improving error messages. For each error or exception I share:
1. Current message and where it appears (e.g. API response, UI toast, log).
2. Intended audience (end user vs developer).
3. Proposed new message: short, specific, and actionable (what went wrong + what to do if possible).
4. Optional: error code or link to docs.
Keep user-facing messages free of stack traces and jargon. For developers, include enough context to debug. Output the new message and a one-line rationale.
Expand — tips & usage
Paste the exact error text and, if possible, the code path that triggers it. Claude can suggest messages for multiple languages or locales.
