Make the desktop's model provider fail on demand (connection refused, DNS not found, socket reset, 429, 5xx, 401, 402, stalled or cut stream) with a local fault server and test providers. Use when reproducing or designing model error and retry states without a real outage.
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
# Fake model faults Real provider errors come from the engine (the opencode sidecar), not from the window, so CDP network throttling cannot produce them. This skill points test providers at failures instead. ## Set up ```bash F=.opencode/skills/fake-model-faults/scripts node $F/fault-server.mjs & # 127.0.0.1:55600 (PORT=… to change) python3 $F/fault-providers.py add # backs up runtime.sqlite, adds three providers CDP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:<cdp> node .opencode/skills/drive-desktop-cdp/scripts/cdp.mjs refresh-providers # expect 200 ``` Writing the v2 engine config directly does not stick; the server rewrites it from the global runtime config within seconds. `refresh-providers` saves a dummy `fault-lab` key so the server mirrors providers immediately. ## What each model does | Provider · model | Engine error you get | |---|---| | Fault Refused · `refused` | `ConnectionRefused: Unable to connect…` (closed port), with retries | | Fault DNS · `enotfound` | `getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND …` (a `.invalid` host), with retries | | Fault Lab · `reset` | `ECONNRESET: The socket connection was closed unexpectedly…`, with retries | …

How to install
mdr add different-ai/openwork/fake-model-faults@sha256:37c5c5d58605f08fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.739dae1, 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.
