Structured fault tolerance for coordinator agents. 5-level escalation ladder (Retry → Replace → Skip → Redistribute → Degrade), dead-man timers, degraded completion protocol, and cross-level escalation format. Load when orchestrating agents that may fail.
Structured code review protocol for inspecting code quality against the full rule set. Use when auditing code written by yourself or another agent, during the /audit workflow, or when the user asks for a code review.
Reusable convergence protocol for coordinator agents. Defines the BRIEFING → ITERATE → GATE → CONVERGE loop, context hygiene rules, self-succession protocol, turn budget, and handoff compression. Load when orchestrating multi-iteration workflows.
Pre-flight checklist and post-implementation self-review protocol. Use before generating any code (pre-flight) and after writing code but before verification (self-review) to catch issues early.
MECE task decomposition, file ownership enforcement, DAG-based execution, and safe merge protocol for intra-domain parallel dispatch. The safety invariants that prevent merge chaos when multiple agents write in parallel. Applies recursively at every nesting depth.
Shared protocols for all agents in the multi-agent pipeline: recursive nesting, pre-implementation restatement, parallel dispatch format, and agent definition cascade. Load this skill instead of inlining these protocols in every agent file.

| description | Controlled failure injection: hypothesis design, blast radius control, safety mechanisms, game day planning, and resilience verification. |
Controlled failure injection to build confidence in system resilience.
Identify measurable indicators of normal system behavior:
"When [failure condition], the system will [expected behavior] because [mechanism]."
Example: "When database primary fails, the system will failover to replica within 30s because of automatic failover configuration."
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Target | Which component to perturb |
| Failure mode | What kind of failure (latency, crash, partition) |
| Blast radius | Scope of impact (single instance, AZ, region) |
| Duration | How long the failure persists |
| Abort criteria | When to immediately stop the experiment |
| Rollback plan | How to restore normal operation |
| Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Process | Kill process, OOM, CPU spike |
| Network | Latency injection, packet loss, partition |
| Infrastructure | Instance termination, AZ failure, disk full |
| Application | Exception injection, slow dependency, config error |
| Data | Corrupt cache, stale data, schema mismatch |
