Test system behavior under extreme load to find breaking points, capacity limits, and failure modes. Covers stress, spike, and breakpoint testing with k6 (primary), JMeter, or Locust. Refuses unbounded concurrency and production saturation without explicit approval. Trigger for "stress test", "load test until it breaks", "find the breaking point", "capacity test", "spike test", "how much traffic can we handle", "system limits", "what's our max load". Not for frontend performance or Core Web…

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

# ai-stress-test — find where it breaks, not just whether it works

## What it produces

A named breaking point with the load that caused it, the metric that failed first, and
the safe capacity ceiling. Every claim backed by a number from a real run.

## Safety

1. Never run against production without explicit written approval and a defined abort
   threshold.
2. Never generate unbounded concurrency or duration. Every run has a ceiling.
3. Refuse requests that look like denial-of-service: "flood this", "hammer it until it
   dies", "DDoS it" get a hard no, followed by a controlled alternative.
4. Default to `plan-only` mode when the target environment is unclear. Ask before
   executing.
5. Stop immediately if error rate exceeds 5% during a run, or if the target system
   reports health-check failures.

## Steps

### 1. Collect inputs

Gather or ask for:

- **target**: base URL, host, or service under test.
- **environment**: `local`, `staging`, or `production`. If `production`, require explicit
  approval and abort thresholds before doing anything.
- **endpoints**: which flows to test. If unknown, ask for the top 5 most critical user

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering/ai-stress-test@sha256:9be18dec704caf93

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.b0fd9cf, 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.
