disaster-recovery-testing

disaster-recovery-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 24 tokens per session (537 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to testing whether an application and its infrastructure can recover after a serious failure. It covers recovery procedures, backups, failover, data integrity, and recovery time and data-loss targets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for recovery exercises, cross-region failover tests, backup restoration checks, infrastructure changes, compliance work, and incident-response training.
Why use it?
It reveals gaps in disaster recovery plans before a real outage and helps teams practise their response.

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

disaster-recovery-testing 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-config.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Disaster Recovery Testing

Table of Contents

Overview

Implement systematic disaster recovery testing to validate recovery procedures, measure RTO/RPO, identify gaps, and ensure team readiness for actual incidents.

When to Use

  • Annual DR exercises
  • Infrastructure changes
  • New service deployments
  • Compliance requirements
  • Team training
  • Recovery procedure validation
  • Cross-region failover testing

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# dr-test-plan.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: dr-test-procedures
  namespace: operations
data:
  dr-test-plan.md: |
    # Disaster Recovery Test Plan

    ## Test Objectives
    - Validate backup restoration procedures
    - Verify failover mechanisms
    - Test DNS failover
    - Validate data integrity post-recovery
    - Measure RTO and RPO
    - Train incident response team

    ## Pre-Test Checklist
    - [ ] Notify stakeholders
    - [ ] Schedule 4-6 hour window
    - [ ] Disable alerting to prevent noise
    - [ ] Backup production data
    - [ ] Ensure DR environment is isolated
    - [ ] Have rollback plan ready
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Schedule regular DR tests
  • Document procedures in advance
  • Test in isolated environments
  • Measure actual RTO/RPO
  • Involve all teams
  • Automate validation
  • Record findings
  • Update procedures based on results

❌ DON'T

  • Skip DR testing
  • Test during business hours
  • Test against production
  • Ignore test failures
  • Neglect post-test analysis
  • Forget to re-enable monitoring
  • Use stale backup processes
  • Test only once a year

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
