fault-tree-analysis

A method for analysing how a system could fail by starting with one major failure and tracing its possible causes using AND and OR logic. Fault Tree Analysis is used in safety and reliability engineering.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyse safety-critical designs, calculate failure probabilities, find minimal sets of events that can cause failure, and assess whether redundancy reduces risk.
Why use it?
It turns a broad system failure into a structured map of contributing events. This helps identify key combinations of failures and estimate failure likelihood when probabilities are available.

Grade A, and why

fault-tree-analysis 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 2d 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.

{
  "name": "fault-tree-analysis",
  "description": "Conduct Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) to systematically identify and analyze causes of system failures using Boolean logic gates. Top-down deductive method for safety and reliability engineering. Use when analyzing system failures, evaluating safety-critical designs, calculating failure probabilities, identifying minimal cut sets, assessing redundancy effectiveness, or when user mentions \"fault tree\", \"FTA\", \"system failure analysis\", \"minimal cut sets\", \"safety analysis\", \"failure probability\", \"AND/OR gates\", or needs to trace failure pathways from top event to basic events. Supports qualitative structure analysis and quantitative probability calculations.",

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.

fault-tree-analysis is a plugin published in the GitHub repository ddunnock/claude-plugins (12 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. Its token cost is not measured: this kind of file is read by the harness, not the model. 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 2026-08-30.
