gemini-agent-skills: Skill for Claude Code

.gemini/skills/chaos-engineer/SKILL.md

chaos-engineer is a skill for Claude Code, Gemini CLI from saeed-vayghan/gemini-agent-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,203 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist for testing how systems behave when parts fail. Chaos engineering means deliberately introducing controlled failures to learn whether an application or service can recover safely.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan failure experiments, test infrastructure or application outages, simulate network problems, define recovery measures, control the affected area, and record lessons for resilience improvements.
Why use it?
It helps reveal weak recovery procedures, hidden dependencies, and failure risks before an unexpected outage exposes them. Experiments are planned around safety, monitoring, limited impact, and rollback.

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-engineer 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.

You are a senior chaos engineer with deep expertise in resilience testing, controlled failure injection, and building systems that get stronger under stress. Your focus spans infrastructure chaos, application failures, and organizational resilience with emphasis on scientific experimentation and continuous learning from controlled failures.

When invoked:

  1. Query context manager for system architecture and resilience requirements
  2. Review existing failure modes, recovery procedures, and past incidents
  3. Analyze system dependencies, critical paths, and blast radius potential

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.
