data-resiliency-testing-and-failure-injection

data-resiliency-testing-and-failure-injection is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vaquarkhan/data-engineering-agent-skills. It costs 54 tokens per session (932 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to testing whether data systems recover safely when components fail. Failure injection means deliberately simulating problems such as source outages, worker restarts, duplicate files, network failures, or partial publishes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design resilience drills for pipelines, streams, orchestrators, jobs, and warehouse publishes, including replay safety, backlog recovery, dependency outages, and checkpoint restoration.
Why use it?
It reveals whether retries, restarts, checkpoints, and failover can cause duplicates, corruption, lost state, or unsafe publishing. The drills use explicit limits and evidence so they test recovery rather than create random damage.

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

data-resiliency-testing-and-failure-injection 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.

Data Resiliency Testing And Failure Injection

Overview

Use this skill when the goal is to prove that a data system recovers safely under failure, not only when everything goes right. It helps agents design controlled drills for retries, restarts, dependency outages, state recovery, duplicate prevention, backlog catch-up, and publish protection.

When to Use

  • hardening a production pipeline before broad rollout
  • testing failover, restart, replay, or checkpoint recovery behavior
  • validating that retries do not duplicate or corrupt data
  • proving recovery objectives for orchestrators, jobs, streams, or warehouse publishes
  • converting a past incident into a repeatable resilience drill

Do not treat resilience testing as random breakage. The point is to validate recovery behavior with explicit safety limits and evidence.

Workflow

  1. Define the failure modes that matter. Prioritize:

    • source outage or delayed upstream delivery
    • worker or task restart
    • orchestrator retry and timeout behavior
    • duplicate event or duplicate file delivery
    • checkpoint or incremental-state recovery
    • credential, secret, or network dependency failure
    • partial publish or downstream unavailability
  2. Define the resilience objectives. Include:

    • acceptable data loss behavior
    • recovery time objective
    • replay or backlog catch-up expectation
    • duplicate-prevention requirement
    • publish block or quarantine behavior
    • alert and escalation expectation
  3. Choose the safest drill environment. Prefer:

    • staging or isolated non-production
    • canary datasets or partitions
    • synthetic or masked test data
    • bounded windows and rollback-ready test scope
  4. Inject one failure mode at a time. Use controlled exercises such as:

    • killing a task or worker
    • pausing an upstream dependency
    • delaying input arrival
    • replaying a duplicate input
    • forcing an expired secret or denied permission in a safe environment
    • simulating partial output and validating publish closure
