Use when the user asks to create, edit, update, design, or configure a Harness Chaos Experiment — including faults, probes, actions, experiment YAML, fault injection, pod-delete, or resilience tests. Do not use for Chaos steps inside a pipeline or a DRTest stage; use chaos-dr-test for those. Do not use to run an experiment, list past runs, or inspect run results — call the Chaos MCP tools directly for those (see Performance Notes). Trigger phrases: chaos experiment, chaos engineering…
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 Experiment Create, edit, and answer reference questions about Harness Chaos Experiments — faults, probes, actions, and the underlying `ChaosExperiment` manifest — via MCP. MANDATORY — Tool Result Verification: - NEVER claim a tool call succeeded without an explicit success response from the tool. - NEVER fabricate, assume, or pre-empt tool results. If you called a tool and did not receive a confirmed result, say so and retry. - When a tool returns a review/elicitation prompt (e.g., "Waiting for user to review before update..."), the user's approval does NOT mean the operation completed. You MUST wait for the follow-up tool response confirming execution before reporting success. - If the tool response is ambiguous or missing, tell the user honestly and offer to retry. ## Instructions ### Step 1: Establish scope Before any `harness_list`, `harness_get`, `harness_create`, `harness_update`, or `harness_execute` call in this skill, establish org/project scope using the repo-wide playbook at [`references/scope-establishment.md`](../../../references/scope-establishment.md): - Parse `org` / `project` from the user's message or a pasted Harness UI URL first. …

How to install
mdr add harness/harness-skills/chaos-experiment@sha256:18794540ca0b4579The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.0.0, 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.
