Implement Exa reliability patterns: query fallback chains, circuit breakers, and graceful degradation. Use when building fault-tolerant Exa integrations, implementing fallback strategies, or adding resilience to production search services. Trigger with phrases like "exa reliability", "exa circuit breaker", "exa fallback", "exa resilience", "exa graceful degradation". '

# Exa Reliability Patterns ## Overview Production reliability patterns for Exa neural search. Exa-specific failure modes include: empty result sets (query too narrow), content retrieval failures (sites block crawling), variable latency by search type, and 429 rate limits at 10 QPS default. ## Instructions ### Step 1: Query Fallback Chain ```typescript import Exa from "exa-js"; const exa = new Exa(process.env.EXA_API_KEY); // If neural search returns too few results, fall back through search types async function resilientSearch( query: string, minResults = 3, opts: any = {} ) { // Try 1: Neural search (best quality) let results = await exa.searchAndContents(query, { type: "neural", numResults: 10, ...opts, }); if (results.results.length >= minResults) return results; // Try 2: Auto search (Exa picks best approach) results = await exa.searchAndContents(query, { type: "auto", numResults: 10, ...opts, }); if (results.results.length >= minResults) return results; // Try 3: Keyword search (different index) results = await exa.searchAndContents(query, { type: "keyword", numResults: 10, ...opts, }); if (results.results.length >= minResults) return results; // Try 4: Remove filters and broa

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill exa-reliability-patterns --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills, a repository with 2,630 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
