The skill hands over a working `kubectl patch chaosengine ... engineState: stop` abort command and a Litmus ChaosEngine manifest capped at PODS_AFFECTED_PERC=33 with a 60s TOTAL_CHAOS_DURATION — a runnable safety net that a memory-only chaos-engineering answer for the same request only described in prose without a tested rollback path.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Chaos Engineer does
Produces chaos-engineering experiment designs for distributed systems — Litmus ChaosEngine manifests, toxiproxy latency injection, and Chaos Monkey configs — plus a safety checklist (steady state first, blast-radius cap, rollback within 30 seconds) and a five-part deliverable template. Triggers on requests to design chaos experiments, run game days, or build failure-injection frameworks for Kubernetes or infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Chaos Engineer skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from Jeffallan/claude-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Chaos Engineer work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 14, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works.

- What is the Chaos Engineer SkillProof Score?
- 8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install Chaos Engineer?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Chaos Engineer with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
