Run a game day that injects a real failure on purpose under safety rails, then captures what monitoring, runbooks, and responders actually did. Use when you want to prove resilience before an incident tests it for you, or to rehearse a team on a failure it has never handled.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Chaos game day A runbook nobody has followed under pressure is a guess, and an alert that has never fired in anger is a hope. A game day turns both into evidence by breaking something deliberately while you watch, ready to stop. Run it without rails and you cause the outage you meant to prevent; run it as a demo where everyone knows the answer and it teaches nothing. The craft lives between those two. ## Method 1. **Open with a falsifiable hypothesis tied to a real fear.** Write a prediction: "if the primary database fails over, reads recover inside 30 seconds and no page reaches a human." Pick failures you genuinely worry about, dependency timeouts, zone loss, a poisoned cache, a full disk, not the ones you already know you survive. 2. **Define steady state and the abort condition before anything breaks.** Name the health metric (checkout success rate, p99 latency) and the exact threshold that ends the exercise on the spot. Fix the blast radius up front: one shard, one zone, one percent of traffic. No fault is injected until the kill switch is built and tested. 3. **Assign roles and keep the responders blind.** A facilitator drives the …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/chaos-gameday@sha256:e03c1b57e5fccefaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.fac4544, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
