Help users chaos test their app with mirrord: inject artificial latency or connection errors into a mirrord session's outgoing traffic via per-session chaos rules managed with the `mirrord chaos` CLI. Use when a user wants to add latency or delay to outgoing connections or a dependency (e.g. a slow database), simulate connection failures (reset, timed out, refused), test app behavior under degraded network conditions, or wire chaos rules into CI test runs. Always use this skill instead of the…

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

# Mirrord Chaos Testing Skill

## Purpose

Help users inject artificial failures and disruptions into a mirrord session's **outgoing traffic**, to test how their app behaves under unexpected conditions. A **chaos rule** pairs a **selector** (which traffic to match) with an **effect** (what to do to it). Rules are created and managed with the **`mirrord chaos` CLI command**, and each rule is attached to a single mirrord session: it never affects other sessions or the cluster.

This skill covers two modes:

1. **Interactive mode**: a developer starts a session with `mirrord exec` and manages rules with `mirrord chaos`.
2. **CI mode**: a pipeline applies rule files checked into the repo with `mirrord chaos add`, and runs tests under chaos.

## When to Use This Skill

Trigger on questions like:
- "Add latency to my service's database connections with mirrord"
- "How do I chaos test with mirrord?"
- "Simulate connection failures / timeouts to an upstream service"
- "Create / modify / delete a mirrord chaos rule"
- "Run my integration tests with injected latency in CI"
- "How do I use `mirrord chaos`?"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add metalbear-co/skills/mirrord-chaos@sha256:c4191b1d50908725

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0, 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.
