What this skill does

# Speak Common Errors

## Overview

Diagnose and fix common Speak API errors: authentication failures, audio format issues, rate limits, and session management problems.

## Prerequisites

- Completed `speak-install-auth` setup
- Valid API credentials configured
- ffmpeg installed for audio processing

## Instructions

### Error Code Reference

| HTTP | Error Code | Description | Fix |
|------|-----------|-------------|-----|
| 400 | `audio_format_invalid` | Audio not WAV 16kHz mono | Convert with ffmpeg |
| 400 | `audio_too_short` | Recording < 0.5 seconds | Record longer audio |
| 400 | `audio_too_long` | Recording > 60 seconds | Trim to under 60s |
| 400 | `language_not_supported` | Invalid language code | Use supported codes |
| 401 | `invalid_api_key` | Wrong or expired key | Regenerate at dashboard |
| 403 | `quota_exceeded` | Monthly limit reached | Upgrade plan or wait |
| 404 | `session_not_found` | Invalid session ID | Start a new session |
| 408 | `session_expired` | Session timed out | Sessions expire after 30 min |
| 413 | `payload_too_large` | Audio file > 25MB | Compress or trim audio |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests | Wait `Retry-After` seconds |

### Quick Diagnostic

```bash
# Check API key validity
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPEAK_API_KEY" \
  https://api.speak.com/v1/languages
# 200 = valid, 401 = invalid, 403 = insufficient permissions

# Check audio format
ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_streams recording.wav \
  | python3 -c "import sys,json; s=json.load(sys.stdin)['streams'][0]; print(f'Rate: {s[\"sample_rate\"]}Hz, Channels: {s[\"channels\"]}')"
# Must be: Rate: 16000Hz, Channels: 1
```

### Error Recovery Pattern

```typescript
async function resilientSpeakCall<T>(fn: () => Promise<T>, maxRetries = 3): Promise<T> {
  for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
    try {
      return await fn();
    } catch (err: any) {
      const code = err.response?.data?.error?.code;
      if (code === 'audio_format_invalid') {
        // Auto-convert and retry
        throw new Error('Convert audio to WAV 16kHz mono before retrying');
      }
      if (code === 'session_expired') {
        throw new Error('Session expired — start a new conversation session');
      }
      if (err.response?.status === 429) {
        const wait = parseInt(err.response.headers['retry-after'] || '5');
        await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, wait * 1000));
        continue;
      }
      throw err;
    }
  }
  throw new Error('Max retries exceeded');
}
```

## Output

- Errors implementation complete
- Speak API integration verified
- Error recovery tested

## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| 401 Unauthorized | Invalid API key | Verify SPEAK_API_KEY environment variable |
| 429 Rate Limited | Too many requests | Wait Retry-After seconds, use backoff |
| Audio format error | Wrong codec/sample rate | Convert to WAV 16kHz mono with ffmpeg |
| Session expired | Timeout after 30 min | Start a new conversation session |

## Examples

**Basic**: Apply common errors with default configuration for a standard Speak integration.

**Advanced**: Customize for production with error recovery, monitoring, and team-specific requirements.

accelint-react-best-practices

Included

React performance optimization and best practices. ALWAYS use this skill when working with any React code - writing components, hooks, JSX; refactoring; optimizing re-renders, memoization, state management; reviewing for performance; fixing hydration mismatches; debugging infinite re-renders, stale closures, input focus loss, animations restarting; preventing remounting; implementing transitions, lazy initialization, effect dependencies. Even simple React tasks benefit from these patterns. Covers React 19+ (useEffectEvent, Activity, ref props). Triggers - useEffect, useState, useMemo, useCallback, memo, inline components, nested components, components inside components, re-render, performance, hydration, SSR, Next.js, useDeferredValue, combined hooks.
