+# File Operation Errors Example
+
+**Project**: meta-cc Development
+**Error Categories**: File Not Found (Category 3), Write Before Read (Category 5), File Size (Category 4)
+**Initial Errors**: 404 file-related errors (30.2% of total)
+**Final Errors**: 87 after automation (6.5%)
+**Reduction**: 78.5% through automation
+
+This example demonstrates comprehensive file operation error handling with automation.
+
+---
+
+## Initial Problem
+
+File operation errors were the largest error category:
+- **250 File Not Found errors** (18.7%)
+- **84 File Size Exceeded errors** (6.3%)
+- **70 Write Before Read errors** (5.2%)
+
+**Common scenarios**:
+1. Typos in file paths → hours wasted debugging
+2. Large files crashing Read tool → session lost
+3. Forgetting to Read before Edit → workflow interrupted
+
+---
+
+## Solution 1: Path Validation Automation
+
+### The Problem
+
+```
+Error: File does not exist: /home/yale/work/meta-cc/internal/testutil/fixture.go
+```
+
+**Actual file**: `fixtures.go` (plural)
+
+**Time wasted**: 5-10 minutes per error × 250 errors = 20-40 hours total
+
+### Automation Script
+
+**Created**: `scripts/validate-path.sh`
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Usage: validate-path.sh <path>
+
+path="$1"
+
+# Check if file exists
+if [ -f "$path" ]; then
+    echo "✓ File exists: $path"
+    exit 0
+fi
+
+# File doesn't exist, try to find similar files
+dir=$(dirname "$path")
+filename=$(basename "$path")
+
+echo "✗ File not found: $path"
+echo ""
+echo "Searching for similar files..."
+
+# Find files with similar names (fuzzy matching)
+find "$dir" -maxdepth 1 -type f -iname "*${filename:0:5}*" 2>/dev/null | while read -r similar; do
+    echo "  Did you mean: $similar"
+done
+
+# Check if directory exists
+if [ ! -d "$dir" ]; then
+    echo ""
+    echo "Note: Directory doesn't exist: $dir"
+    echo "  Check if path is correct"
+fi
+
+exit 1
+```
+
+### Usage Example
+
+**Before automation**:
+```bash
+# Manual debugging
+$ wc -l /path/internal/testutil/fixture.go
+wc: /path/internal/testutil/fixture.go: No such file or directory
+
+# Try to find it manually
+$ ls /path/internal/testutil/
+$ find . -name "*fixture*"
+# ... 5 minutes later, found: fixtures.go
+```
+
+**With automation**:
+```bash
+$ ./scripts/validate-path.sh /path/internal/testutil/fixture.go
+✗ File not found: /path/internal/testutil/fixture.go
+
+Searching for similar files...
+  Did you mean: /path/internal/testutil/fixtures.go
+  Did you mean: /path/internal/testutil/fixture_test.go
+
+# Immediately see the correct path!
+$ wc -l /path/internal/testutil/fixtures.go
+42 /path/internal/testutil/fixtures.go
+```
+
+### Results
+
+**Impact**:
+- Prevented: 163/250 errors (65.2%)
+- Time saved per error: 5 minutes
+- **Total time saved**: 13.5 hours
+
+**Why not 100%?**:
+- 87 errors were files that truly didn't exist yet (workflow order issues)
+- These needed different fix (create file first, or reorder operations)
+

+
+## Solution 2: File Size Check Automation
+
+### The Problem
+
+```
+Error: File content (46892 tokens) exceeds maximum allowed tokens (25000)
+```
+
+**Result**: Session lost, context reset, frustrating experience
+
+**Frequency**: 84 errors (6.3%)
+
+### Automation Script
+
+**Created**: `scripts/check-file-size.sh`
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Usage: check-file-size.sh <file>
+
+file="$1"
+max_tokens=25000
+
+# Check file exists
+if [ ! -f "$file" ]; then
+    echo "✗ File not found: $file"
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+# Estimate tokens (rough: 1 line ≈ 10 tokens)
+lines=$(wc -l < "$file")
+estimated_tokens=$((lines * 10))
+
+echo "File: $file"
+echo "Lines: $lines"
+echo "Estimated tokens: ~$estimated_tokens"
+
+if [ $estimated_tokens -lt $max_tokens ]; then
+    echo "✓ Safe to read (under $max_tokens token limit)"
+    exit 0
+else
+    echo "⚠ File too large for single read!"
+    echo ""
+    echo "Options:"
+    echo "  1. Use pagination:"
+    echo "     Read $file offset=0 limit=1000"
+    echo ""
+    echo "  2. Use grep to extract:"
+    echo "     grep \"pattern\" $file"
+    echo ""
+    echo "  3. Use head/tail:"
+    echo "     head -n 1000 $file"
+    echo "     tail -n 1000 $file"
+
+    # Calculate suggested chunk size
+    chunks=$((estimated_tokens / max_tokens + 1))
+    lines_per_chunk=$((lines / chunks))
+    echo ""
+    echo "  Suggested chunks: $chunks"
+    echo "  Lines per chunk: ~$lines_per_chunk"
+
+    exit 1
+fi
+```
+
+### Usage Example
+
+**Before automation**:
+```bash
+# Try to read large file
+$ Read large-session.jsonl
+Error: File content (46892 tokens) exceeds maximum allowed tokens (25000)
+
+# Session lost, context reset
+# Start over with pagination...
+```
+
+**With automation**:
+```bash
+$ ./scripts/check-file-size.sh large-session.jsonl
+File: large-session.jsonl
+Lines: 12000
+Estimated tokens: ~120000
+
+⚠ File too large for single read!
+
+Options:
+  1. Use pagination:
+     Read large-session.jsonl offset=0 limit=1000
+
+  2. Use grep to extract:
+     grep "pattern" large-session.jsonl
+
+  3. Use head/tail:
+     head -n 1000 large-session.jsonl
+
+  Suggested chunks: 5
+  Lines per chunk: ~2400
+
+# Use suggestion
+$ Read large-session.jsonl offset=0 limit=2400
+✓ Successfully read first chunk
+```
+
+### Results
+
+**Impact**:
+- Prevented: 84/84 errors (100%)
+- Time saved per error: 10 minutes (including context restoration)
+- **Total time saved**: 14 hours

+
+## Solution 3: Read-Before-Write Check
+
+### The Problem
+
+```
+Error: File has not been read yet. Read it first before writing to it.
+```
+
+**Cause**: Forgot to Read file before Edit operation
+
+**Frequency**: 70 errors (5.2%)
+
+### Automation Script
+
+**Created**: `scripts/check-read-before-write.sh`
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Usage: check-read-before-write.sh <file> <operation>
+# operation: edit|write
+
+file="$1"
+operation="${2:-edit}"
+
+# Check if file exists
+if [ ! -f "$file" ]; then
+    if [ "$operation" = "write" ]; then
+        echo "✓ New file, Write is OK: $file"
+        exit 0
+    else
+        echo "✗ File doesn't exist, can't Edit: $file"
+        echo "  Use Write for new files, or create file first"
+        exit 1
+    fi
+fi
+
+# File exists, check if this is a modification
+if [ "$operation" = "edit" ]; then
+    echo "⚠ Existing file, need to Read before Edit!"
+    echo ""
+    echo "Workflow:"
+    echo "  1. Read $file"
+    echo "  2. Edit $file old_string=\"...\" new_string=\"...\""
+    exit 1
+elif [ "$operation" = "write" ]; then
+    echo "⚠ Existing file, need to Read before Write!"
+    echo ""
+    echo "Workflow for modifications:"
+    echo "  1. Read $file"
+    echo "  2. Edit $file old_string=\"...\" new_string=\"...\""
+    echo ""
+    echo "Or for complete rewrite:"
+    echo "  1. Read $file  (to see current content)"
+    echo "  2. Write $file <new_content>"
+    exit 1
+fi
+```
+
+### Usage Example
+
+**Before automation**:
+```bash
+# Forget to read, try to edit
+$ Edit internal/parser/parse.go old_string="x" new_string="y"
+Error: File has not been read yet.
+
+# Retry with Read
+$ Read internal/parser/parse.go
+$ Edit internal/parser/parse.go old_string="x" new_string="y"
+✓ Success
+```
+
+**With automation**:
+```bash
+$ ./scripts/check-read-before-write.sh internal/parser/parse.go edit
+⚠ Existing file, need to Read before Edit!
+
+Workflow:
+  1. Read internal/parser/parse.go
+  2. Edit internal/parser/parse.go old_string="..." new_string="..."
+
+# Follow workflow
+$ Read internal/parser/parse.go
+$ Edit internal/parser/parse.go old_string="x" new_string="y"
+✓ Success
+```
+
+### Results

+
+## Reusable Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Pre-Operation Validation
+
+```bash
+# Before any file operation
+validate_preconditions() {
+    local file="$1"
+    local operation="$2"
+
+    # Check 1: Path exists or is valid
+    validate_path "$file" || return 1
+
+    # Check 2: Size is acceptable
+    check_size "$file" || return 1
+
+    # Check 3: Permissions are correct
+    check_permissions "$file" "$operation" || return 1
+
+    return 0
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Fuzzy Matching
+
+```bash
+# Find similar paths
+find_similar() {
+    local search="$1"
+    local dir=$(dirname "$search")
+    local base=$(basename "$search")
+
+    # Try case-insensitive
+    find "$dir" -maxdepth 1 -iname "$base" 2>/dev/null
+
+    # Try partial match
+    find "$dir" -maxdepth 1 -iname "*${base:0:5}*" 2>/dev/null
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Helpful Error Messages
+
+```bash
+# Don't just say "error"
+echo "✗ File not found: $path"
+echo ""
+echo "Suggestions:"
+find_similar "$path" | while read -r match; do
+    echo "  - $match"
+done
+echo ""
+echo "Or check if:"
+echo "  1. Path is correct"
+echo "  2. File needs to be created first"
+echo "  3. You're in the right directory"
+```
+

+
+## Transfer to Other Projects
+
+**These scripts work for**:
+- Any project using Claude Code
+- Any project with file operations
+- Any CLI tool development
+
+**Adaptation needed**:
+- Token limits (adjust for your system)
+- Path patterns (adjust find commands)
+- Integration points (hooks, CI/CD)
+
+**Core principles remain**:
+1. Validate before executing
+2. Provide fuzzy matching
+3. Give helpful error messages
+4. Automate common checks
