chaos-experiment-design

chaos-experiment-design is a skill for Claude Code from dungnotnull/hybrid-harness-chaos-process-prm. It costs 116 tokens per session (2,556 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for designing complete chaos engineering experiments, where controlled failures are introduced to test system resilience. It creates runnable Litmus YAML with a hypothesis, expected healthy state, limited impact, and automatic abort conditions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create chaos tests, inject faults, add chaos steps to a pipeline, and produce the experiment, engine, checklist, and related configuration files.
Why use it?
It turns a vague idea such as testing resilience into a structured experiment with clear safety boundaries and success criteria.

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-experiment-design 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 12d 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 Experiment Design

Purpose

Produce complete, safe, runnable chaos experiments following the hypothesis-driven scientific method. Every experiment has a clear hypothesis, defined steady state, bounded blast radius, and automated abort conditions.


Input Contract

Input Source Required
PRD / service criticality analysis s01 (workflow_context) Yes
Pipeline YAML (chaos step location) s04 output Yes
Service definitions (target services) s05 output Yes
Blast radius budget per environment s01 (env tier table) Yes
Feature flag chaos gate config s08 output No (recommended)
Risk tolerance preferences s02 taste (risk_tolerance) Yes

Output Contract

Output Destination Format
ChaosExperiment manifest .commandcode/artifacts/experiment-<name>.yaml Litmus YAML
ChaosEngine manifest .commandcode/artifacts/engine-<name>.yaml Litmus YAML
Experiment design checklist s13 (hypothesis input) Markdown
Fault taxonomy map s16, s17 (fault selection) Reference
Pipeline chaos step config s04 (pipeline update) YAML
Experiment context workflow_context.artifacts YAML object

Prerequisites

  • LitmusChaos / Harness Chaos Engineering installed in target cluster
  • Target namespace and service identified
  • Steady state defined (see chaos/04-steady-state-definition)
  • Observability stack active (metrics flowing before experiment starts)
  • Rollback plan documented
  • Blast radius approved for target environment (see CLAUDE.md env tiers)

Experiment Design Framework (5 Steps)

1. HYPOTHESIS   → "If X fails, then Y should happen, and Z metric stays within N"
2. STEADY STATE → Baseline metrics confirmed healthy before injection
3. FAULT        → Specific fault, target scope, duration, intensity
4. OBSERVE      → Monitor during injection — did system behave as expected?
5. LEARN        → Document findings, fix gaps, update runbooks

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-experiment-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository dungnotnull/hybrid-harness-chaos-process-prm (19 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 116 tokens to every session and 2,556 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-30.
