# Cascading Failure Detection

Detect **cascading failures** where a single error, retry loop, or dependency outage triggers system-wide instability.

## When to Use

- Multi-step agent workflows with dependencies
- Fan-out to tools/services with shared critical paths
- Retry or fallback logic that can amplify errors

If the workflow is isolated and has no dependencies, skip this skill.

## Strategy
