chaos-engineering-resilience

chaos-engineering-resilience is a skill for Claude Code from proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,126 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to chaos engineering: deliberately causing controlled failures to see whether a system continues working and recovers correctly. It focuses on distributed systems, where parts of an application run across multiple machines or services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test fault tolerance, disaster recovery, and recovery procedures by injecting failures involving networks, infrastructure, storage, or CPU. It also helps document findings in operational runbooks.
Why use it?
It reveals weaknesses that ordinary tests may miss, such as network failures, lost servers, or full service outages. Controlled scope and rollback triggers help limit the impact of these experiments.

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-engineering-resilience 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.

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 Engineering & Resilience Testing

<default_to_action> When testing system resilience or injecting failures:

  1. DEFINE steady state (normal metrics: error rate, latency, throughput)
  2. HYPOTHESIZE system continues in steady state during failure
  3. INJECT real-world failures (network, instance, disk, CPU)
  4. OBSERVE and measure deviation from steady state
  5. FIX weaknesses discovered, document runbooks, repeat

Quick Chaos Steps:

  • Start small: Dev → Staging → 1% prod → gradual rollout
  • Define clear rollback triggers (error_rate > 5%)
  • Measure blast radius, never exceed planned scope
  • Document findings → runbooks → improved resilience

Critical Success Factors:

  • Controlled experiments with automatic rollback
  • Steady state must be measurable
  • Start in non-production, graduate to production </default_to_action>

Quick Reference Card

When to Use

  • Distributed systems validation
  • Disaster recovery testing
  • Building confidence in fault tolerance
  • Pre-production resilience verification

Failure Types to Inject

Category Failures Tools
Network Latency, packet loss, partition tc, toxiproxy
Infrastructure Instance kill, disk failure, CPU Chaos Monkey
Application Exceptions, slow responses, leaks Gremlin, LitmusChaos
Dependencies Service outage, timeout WireMock

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-engineering-resilience is a skill published in the GitHub repository proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe (512 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,126 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-11.
