Individual skill
chaos-engineering
Use before running a chaos experiment, gameday or fault injection, or after one to write it up. Designs it with steady state and abort criteria in experiment_designer.py, sizes the blast radius with blast_radius_calculator.py and drafts the postmortem.

# Chaos Engineering
Design experiments that surface real weaknesses in production systems — without becoming outages. Most "chaos engineering" attempts skip steady-state measurement, define no abort criteria, and have no blast-radius bound. This skill enforces the discipline that makes chaos experiments safe and useful.
## When to use
- Planning a chaos experiment (what to break, where, when, how to abort)
- Calculating blast radius before running the experiment
- Reviewing an existing experiment plan for safety
- Choosing a chaos tool (Chaos Toolkit / Chaos Mesh / Litmus / Gremlin / AWS FIS)
- Writing a chaos experiment postmortem
- Running a Game Day exercise
## When NOT to use
