 Prompt to Kiro AI (Default):
 
-
+from now on, I will mostly be asking questions about approach, so please do not perform any actions or code edits unless explicitly requested. also, please be less verbose - I want nice, quick answers that provide the necessary context. How can I check if a file exists/isreadable for my loadSave function?
 
 Response:
 
+Two clean options:
+
+os.path.exists(path) — checks the file is there before opening.
+
+python
+
+import os
+if os.path.exists(path):
+    # open and read
+try/except — just attempt to open and catch the failure. This is the more Pythonic approach and also handles the "exists but unreadable/corrupt" case in one shot:
+
+python
+
+try:
+    with open(path) as f:
+        ...
+except (FileNotFoundError, IOError):
+    return defaultState()
+For loadSave, the try/except is the better fit since you also want to catch bad JSON — wrap json.load in the same block and catch json.JSONDecodeError too, falling back to a fresh default state on any failure.
