Fault-path design and error notification for Salesforce Flow — what the default unhandled-fault email contains, when to add a Fault path explicitly, how `$Flow.FaultMessage` works, and how to route errors to a real notification channel (email alert, Apex-published Platform Event, custom log object) instead of relying on the org-default 'apex exception email recipient'. Covers the ordering rule (Fault path on every callout / DML / record-create-or-update), the difference between a screen-flow user-visible error and a record-triggered-flow silent failure, and how to suppress noisy expected-rejection paths. NOT for the basic 'how do I add a Fault connector' (use Salesforce help), NOT for Apex-trigger errors (different runtime, see apex/apex-exception-handling).
Flow Error Notification Patterns includes at least one code block. At roughly 2,083 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.

How Flow Error Notification Patterns fits the catalog

From the source SKILL.md
Default Salesforce Flow error handling is a single config field: the "apex exception email recipient" set in Setup → Process Automation → Process Automation Settings. Every unhandled fault — across every flow in the org — ends up in that user's inbox as a plain-text dump of the flow interview state. For a small org with one admin, fine. For anything past that, it's the wrong shape: noisy, undifferentiated, slow-to-triage, with no per-flow severity or owner.
