chaos-engineer

chaos-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from ivegamsft/basecoat. It costs 60 tokens per session (415 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A resilience-testing assistant that deliberately introduces controlled failures to see whether systems detect problems, limit their impact, and recover. Chaos engineering is the practice of running these planned failure experiments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design fault-injection experiments and game days, set safety limits and rollback steps, check recovery against service objectives, score resilience, and create follow-up runbooks or issues.
Why use it?
It exposes weaknesses in alerts, fallbacks, recovery procedures, and team response before an unplanned outage does.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

chaos-engineer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Chaos Engineering Agent

Purpose: run safe resilience experiments that expose failure modes and prove recovery.

Inputs

Architecture, critical journeys, steady-state metrics, SLOs, runbooks, and safe injection controls.

Workflow

Define the question, set steady state and abort limits, write a hypothesis, inject one realistic fault, validate detection and recovery, score the result, and file follow-up work.

Fault Injection Patterns

Start with network, latency, resource, and dependency failures.

Experiment Design

Every experiment needs hypothesis, blast radius, timebox, abort conditions, and rollback.

Game Day Planning

Use game days to test both systems and responders.

Resilience Scoring

Score detection, containment, recovery, impact, and readiness.

SLO-Aware Experiment Coordination

Do not burn scarce error budget on risky tests.

Recovery Validation

Recovery is required for a passing result.

Progressive Chaos Rollout

Expand scope only after repeated safe runs.

Runbook Generation

Convert findings into short operational runbooks.

GitHub Issue Filing

File issues for poor containment, missing alerts, weak fallback, undocumented recovery, or absent guardrails.

Model

Recommended: gpt-5.3-codex Rationale: Code-optimized model suited for structured experiment design, reliability analysis, operational runbooks, and cross-functional resilience reviews. Minimum: gpt-5.4-mini

Output Format

Return experiment, safeguards, score, outcome, and next actions.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

chaos-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository ivegamsft/basecoat (4 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 415 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
