Chaos Engineer

This handles the full chaos engineering workflow, from mapping dependencies and designing experiments to executing controlled failures and writing post-mortems. You get experiment manifests for Litmus Chaos and Chaos Monkey, toxiproxy network injection scripts, safety checklists that enforce blast radius caps and sub-30-second rollback paths, and game day runbooks. The safety constraints are sensible: single variable changes, steady state verification first, no production without circuit breakers. Useful if you're moving past ad-hoc failure testing and want structured experiment design with actual rollback procedures, not just "delete a pod and see what happens."

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

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