# @suaveplan/retry

Retry strategies and circuit-breaker for async operations. The package provides constant, linear, and exponential backoff with four jitter modes (full, equal, decorrelated, none), a `sleep` helper with AbortSignal support, a per-attempt `withTimeout` wrapper, and a three-state circuit breaker (closed → open → half-open) with event emission and configurable failure/success thresholds. All entry points accept an injectable `Clock` and `AbortSignal` so they integrate cleanly with test harnesses and request cancellation.

## When to use this skill

- Implementing or debugging code that imports `@suaveplan/retry`.
- The task touches: see package README.
- You need API guidance for this package's exports.

## Quick reference

```ts
import { /* see API Reference below */ } from "@suaveplan/retry";
```

## Dependencies

Workspace dependencies: `@suaveplan/error`, `@suaveplan/events`, `@suaveplan/types`

## Where to read more

This skill is intentionally short. The package's own documentation is the authoritative source — read these in order:

1. **`packages/foundation/retry/README.md`** — overview, install, quick-start, module index
2. **`packages/foundation/retry/src/**/*.md`** — co-located docs per implementation file (Purpose, Features, Basic + Advanced examples, full API reference, Implementation notes — all packages  ship ≥200 words per module)
3. **`packages/foundation/retry/package.json`** `exports` map — every subpath you can import from

When the user asks an API question, read the relevant co-located `.md` first; do not answer from training-data memory.
