+# Error Handling Guide
 
-# Error Handling
+## Overview
 
-This SDK uses custom error classes derived from [@openagenda/verror](https://github.com/OpenAgenda/verror) to handle errors between packages and to the SDK consumers.
-Normal error handling is also supported as VError extends the native Error class, but using VError allows for better error composition and information propagation.
-You can check their documentation for the extra fields that are added to the error object and methods on how to handle them in a safe way.
+The SDK implements a robust error handling system using [@openagenda/verror](https://github.com/OpenAgenda/verror). This system provides:
 
-## Example
+- Detailed error information with cause tracking
+- Error composition and chaining
+- Additional context through metadata
+- Compatibility with native JavaScript Error handling
+
+## Using Error Handling
+
+### Basic Example
 
 ```ts
 import { VError } from '@openagenda/verror';
 import { LitNodeClientBadConfigError } from '@lit-protocol/constants';
 
 try {
+  // Simulate an error condition
   const someNativeError = new Error('some native error');
 
+  // Throw a Lit-specific error with context
   throw new LitNodeClientBadConfigError(
     {
       cause: someNativeError,
-      info: {
-        foo: 'bar',
-      },
-      meta: {
-        baz: 'qux',
-      },
+      info: { foo: 'bar' },
+      meta: { baz: 'qux' },
     },
     'some useful message'
   );
 } catch (e) {
+  // Access error details
   console.log(e.name); // LitNodeClientBadConfigError
   console.log(e.message); // some useful message: some native error
   console.log(e.info); // { foo: 'bar' }
   console.log(e.baz); // qux
-  // VError.cause(e) is someNativeError
-  // VError.info(e) is { foo: 'bar' }
-  // VError.meta(e) is { baz: 'qux', code: 'lit_node_client_bad_config_error', kind: 'Config' }
-  // Verror.fullStack(e) is the full stack trace composed of the error chain including the causes
+
+  // Additional error information
+  // - VError.cause(e): Original error (someNativeError)
+  // - VError.info(e): Additional context ({ foo: 'bar' })
+  // - VError.meta(e): Metadata ({ baz: 'qux', code: 'lit_node_client_bad_config_error', kind: 'Config' })
+  // - VError.fullStack(e): Complete error chain stack trace
 }
 ```
 
-## Creating a new error
-
-In file `packages/constants/src/lib/errors.ts` you can find the list of errors that are currently supported and add new ones if needed.
-
-To create and use a new error, you need to:
-
-1. Add the error information to the `LIT_ERROR` object in `packages/constants/src/lib/errors.ts`
-2. Export the error from the `errors.ts` file at the end of the file
-3. Import the error where you need it
-4. Throw the error in your code adding all the information a user might need to know about the error such as the cause, the info, etc.
+## Creating Custom Errors
+
+To add new error types:
+
+1. Locate `packages/constants/src/lib/errors.ts`
+2. Add your error definition to the `LIT_ERROR` object
+3. Export the new error class
+4. Import and use in your code with relevant context:
+   ```ts
+   throw new YourCustomError(
+     {
+       cause: originalError,
+       info: {
+         /* context */
+       },
+       meta: {
+         /* metadata */
+       },
+     },
+     'Error message'
+   );
+   ```
