 To take advantage of this framework, contributors can simply use the [`ErrDef`](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/skaffold/blob/master/pkg/skaffold/errors/err_def.go#L32) struct to throw meaningful actionable error messages and 
 improve user experience.

    The `INIT` in this case stands for skaffold `INIT` phase which includes, parsing of skaffold config and creating a skaffold runner. 
    The other valid phases are `BUILD`, `DEPLOY`, `STATUSCHECK`. Complete list [here](https://skaffold.dev/docs/references/api/grpc/#statuscode)

 With above two changes, skaffold will now show a meaning full error message when this error condition is met. 
 ```shell script
 skaffold dev 
-invalid skaffold config: container 'does-not-exits' not found, required by image 'skaffold-example' for docker network stack sharing.
-Please fix the docker network container name and try again.
+unsupported validator "foo" please only use the following validators in skaffold-managed mode: [kubeval].
+To use custom validators, please use kpt-managed mode.
