planning-disaster-recovery

planning-disaster-recovery is a skill for Claude Code from ancoleman/ai-design-components. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,913 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to preparing systems to recover after failures, disasters, or outages. It covers backups, database recovery, Kubernetes restore procedures, and operation across multiple regions or cloud providers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define recovery targets, configure backups and point-in-time recovery, set up failover and replication, monitor backups, and run disaster-recovery tests.
Why use it?
It helps teams decide how much downtime and data loss they can accept, then test whether their recovery procedures work.

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

planning-disaster-recovery 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (examples/chaos/db-failover-test.sh, examples/chaos/region-failure-test.sh, scripts/check-retention.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

Purpose

Provide comprehensive guidance for designing disaster recovery (DR) strategies, implementing backup systems, and validating recovery procedures across databases, Kubernetes clusters, and cloud infrastructure. Enable teams to define RTO/RPO objectives, select appropriate backup tools, configure automated failover, and test DR capabilities through chaos engineering.

When to Use This Skill

Invoke this skill when:

  • Defining recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO)
  • Implementing database backups with point-in-time recovery (PITR)
  • Setting up Kubernetes cluster backup and restore workflows
  • Configuring cross-region replication for high availability
  • Testing disaster recovery procedures through chaos experiments
  • Meeting compliance requirements (GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA)
  • Automating backup monitoring and alerting
  • Designing multi-cloud disaster recovery architectures

Core Concepts

RTO and RPO Fundamentals

Recovery Time Objective (RTO): Maximum acceptable downtime after a disaster before business impact becomes unacceptable.

Recovery Point Objective (RPO): Maximum acceptable data loss measured in time. Defines how far back in time recovery must reach.

Criticality Tiers:

  • Tier 0 (Mission-Critical): RTO < 1 hour, RPO < 5 minutes
  • Tier 1 (Production): RTO 1-4 hours, RPO 15-60 minutes
  • Tier 2 (Important): RTO 4-24 hours, RPO 1-6 hours
  • Tier 3 (Standard): RTO > 24 hours, RPO > 6 hours

3-2-1 Backup Rule

Maintain 3 copies of data on 2 different media types with 1 copy offsite.

Example implementation:

  • Primary: Production database
  • Secondary: Local backup storage
  • Tertiary: Cloud backup (S3/GCS/Azure)

Backup Types

Full Backup: Complete copy of all data. Slowest to create, fastest to restore.

Incremental Backup: Only changes since last backup. Fastest to create, requires full + all incrementals to restore.

Differential Backup: Changes since last full backup. Balance between storage and restore speed.
