design-fmea

design-fmea is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yogsoth-ai/stress-test. It costs 35 tokens per session (879 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A design-level FMEA method for finding how parts of a product or system might fail, why they would fail, and what could happen. It uses the AIAG-VDA 2019 approach to rate each failure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break a design into functions, identify failure modes and cause-effect chains, score their severity, likelihood, and detectability, then prioritize and propose mitigations.
Why use it?
It gives you a structured way to find risks early instead of relying on informal review or discovering problems after the design is built.

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

design-fmea 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.

Design FMEA Strategy

Systematic failure analysis at the research design level: what functions can fail, how, and with what consequence?

Method

  1. function-analysis decomposes artifact into function tree
  2. failure-mode-extraction identifies how each function can fail
  3. failure-chain-construction builds cause → mode → effect chains
  4. severity-scoring, occurrence-scoring, detection-scoring rate each mode
  5. action-priority-matrix classifies priority (H/M/L)
  6. mitigation-design-sop proposes countermeasures for H-priority items

Budget Table

Parameter S M L
Functions analyzed 4 10 20
Failure modes per function 2 3 5
Chain depth (cause levels) 2 4 6
Mitigations designed 3 8 15

Orchestration

function-analysis → failure-mode-extraction → failure-chain-construction
  → [severity-scoring, occurrence-scoring, detection-scoring] (parallel)
  → action-priority-matrix → mitigation-design-sop
  → re-scoring (mitigation-validation tactic)

Subagents

  • function-analysis (decompose function tree)
  • failure-mode-extraction (identify failure modes)
  • failure-chain-construction (cause-mode-effect chains)
  • severity-scoring, occurrence-scoring, detection-scoring (S/O/D)
  • action-priority-matrix (priority classification)
  • mitigation-design-sop (countermeasure design)

Available Tactics

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

Tactic When to use
failure-chain-tracing Tactic: Trace upstream causes and downstream effects of each failure mode. Builds multi-level cause-mode-effect chains for systemic understanding.
mitigation-validation Tactic: Run mini-FMEA on proposed mitigations to verify they do not introduce new failure modes. Prevents mitigation-induced risks.

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP When to use
action-priority-matrix Compute Risk Priority Number (RPN = S x O x D), classify failure modes into H/M/L action priority per AIAG-VDA tables.
detection-scoring Rate detectability 1-10 (inverted: 10 = hardest to detect). Estimates how likely current controls would catch the failure before impact.
failure-chain-construction Build cause-mode-effect chains tracing upstream root causes and downstream cascading effects for each failure mode.
failure-mode-extraction Extract structured failure mode list from raw scenarios or artifact analysis. Produces standardized failure mode records.
function-analysis FMEA Step 3: Decompose artifact into function tree — identify what each component is supposed to do before analyzing how it can fail.
mitigation-design-sop Design prevention, detection, and response measures for high-priority failure modes. Produces actionable countermeasure specifications.
occurrence-scoring Rate failure mode occurrence probability 1-10. Estimates how likely each failure mode is to manifest during research execution.
severity-scoring Rate failure mode severity 1-10 based on end-effect impact. Follows AIAG-VDA severity scale calibrated for research artifacts.

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.

design-fmea is a skill published in the GitHub repository yogsoth-ai/stress-test (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 879 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
