chaos

chaos is a cursor rule for coding agents from Jkudjo/oh-my-cursor. It costs 14 tokens per session (769 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Rules for chaos testing, which deliberately examines how software behaves when services fail, data is invalid, or systems become slow or inconsistent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them after implementing features to check dependency outages, intermittent errors, slow responses, unexpected data shapes, empty inputs, boundary values, and partial failures.
Why use it?
They expose failures that normal tests may miss, such as unhelpful errors, corrupted state, missing timeouts, or unsafe handling of unusual inputs.

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 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 5d 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.

@chaos

Trigger: After implementing a feature, before shipping. Tests resilience, not just correctness.

What it tests

Correctness testing asks: "does it work under normal conditions?" Chaos testing asks: "does it degrade gracefully under hostile conditions?"

Protocol

  1. Load the implementation (from approved plan or recent changes).
  2. For each failure scenario below: mentally or actually inject the failure and trace what happens.

Dependency failures

  • Service unavailable: external API returns 503 — does the app retry? fail gracefully? surface a useful error?
  • Intermittent failures: dependency fails 30% of requests — does state corrupt? does partial success cause inconsistency?
  • Slow dependency: upstream takes 10s instead of 100ms — does it timeout properly? does it block a thread pool?
  • Wrong response shape: dependency returns unexpected schema — does it crash or handle gracefully?

Data failures

  • Null/empty inputs: pass null, "", [], {} to every public interface — what breaks?
  • Boundary values: max int, negative numbers, very long strings, special characters, unicode
  • Corrupt state: what if the DB has partial write from a previous failed transaction?
  • Stale cache: cache returns old data while DB has new — is this handled?

Infrastructure failures

  • Redis unavailable: does the app fall back or crash?
  • DB connection pool exhausted: does it queue? fail fast? surface a clear error?
  • Network partition: partial network failure between services — can state become inconsistent?
  • Disk full: what happens to logging, temp files, uploads?

Concurrency failures

  • Race condition: two requests modify the same resource simultaneously — is there a lock?
  • Duplicate request: same request sent twice (retry, double-click) — is it idempotent?
  • Out-of-order events: message queue delivers events out of sequence — does ordering matter?

Security failures

  • Auth bypass attempts: what if the auth token is expired? forged? from wrong tenant?
  • Privilege escalation: what if a low-privilege user calls a high-privilege endpoint?
  • Input injection: SQL, HTML, command injection in every user-controlled field

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 is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository Jkudjo/oh-my-cursor (1 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 769 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
