Lack of clarity on error messages #266

@kuisathaverat

Description

@kuisathaverat

TL;DR

We hit the following error executing a prompt: Error: Exiting due to an error processing the @ command. It was difficult to figure out what the error was about because it is a large prompt. In our case, there was a rule to force the use of a GitHub Action actions/github-script@v7

Expected behavior

There is no reference to the command name that could help identify where the error is. In our case, if the error reported was Error: Exiting due to an error processing the @v7 command, we probably find the issue faster.

Observed behavior

Report proper messages with complete context about the error, not generic error messages.
