Testing the failure behaviour a distributed system claims: injecting latency, errors, partitions and process death; verifying that timeouts, retries, breakers and fallbacks do what their configuration says; checking idempotency against duplicate delivery; and running a controlled experiment in production rather than a chaos tool. Use when resilience configuration exists but has never been exercised, when a timeout or retry budget is being chosen, when an incident was caused by a dependency…
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
# Distributed Systems Testing ## Purpose Make the system's failure behaviour something that has been observed rather than configured. Timeouts, retry budgets, circuit breakers, fallbacks, idempotency keys and readiness probes are all claims; until each has been exercised against the failure it exists for, the system's resilience is a set of YAML values that have never executed. Happy-path tests against a fast dependency and healthy-system load tests leave failure behaviour unchecked: a slow dependency, a duplicate after a broker reconnect, or a node that vanishes mid-transaction. Extend existing tests where they can expose the relevant contract. The two failures this exists to prevent: resilience settings that provably do nothing — a retry budget exhausted by its first attempt, a breaker that never records the failures it was meant to count; and chaos experiments run without a hypothesis or a blast-radius limit, which produce an incident rather than a finding. ## Workflow Reuse the accepted fault model, outcome contract, prior checks and environment authority before asking for gaps that change the experiment. Name the effect and observation boundary, permitted …

How to install
mdr add robsonkades/agent-skills/distributed-systems-testing@sha256:aa3b87d1671103c1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.c769bd8, 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.
