chaos-engineer SKILL.md skillA

chaos-engineer from jeffallan/claude-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add jeffallan/claude-skills/chaos-engineer@v1.1.0

Pins v1.1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Designs chaos experiments, creates failure injection frameworks, and facilitates game day exercises for distributed systems — producing runbooks, experiment manifests, rollback procedures, and post-mortem templates. Use when designing chaos experiments, implementing failure injection frameworks, or conducting game day exercises. Invoke for chaos experiments, resilience testing, blast radius control, game days, antifragile systems, fault injection, Chaos Monkey, Litmus Chaos.

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 Engineer

## When to Use This Skill

- Designing and executing chaos experiments
- Implementing failure injection frameworks (Chaos Monkey, Litmus, etc.)
- Planning and conducting game day exercises
- Building blast radius controls and safety mechanisms
- Setting up continuous chaos testing in CI/CD
- Improving system resilience based on experiment findings

## Core Workflow

1. **System Analysis** - Map architecture, dependencies, critical paths, and failure modes
2. **Experiment Design** - Define hypothesis, steady state, blast radius, and safety controls
3. **Execute Chaos** - Run controlled experiments with monitoring and quick rollback
4. **Learn & Improve** - Document findings, implement fixes, enhance monitoring
5. **Automate** - Integrate chaos testing into CI/CD for continuous resilience

## Reference Guide

Load detailed guidance based on context:

| Topic | Reference | Load When |
|-------|-----------|-----------|
| Experiments | `references/experiment-design.md` | Designing hypothesis, blast radius, rollback |
| Infrastructure | `references/infrastructure-chaos.md` | Server, network, zone, region failures |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add jeffallan/claude-skills/chaos-engineer@sha256:97b9db30c0b8a94e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
