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

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

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.
