aws-fault-injection-servicePlans, builds, runs, and analyzes fault injection experiments with AWS Fault Injection Service (AWS FIS) to validate application resilience through chaos engineering.
AWS Fault Injection Service is an agent skill from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Plans, builds, runs, and analyzes fault injection experiments with AWS Fault Injection Service (AWS FIS) to validate application resilience through chaos engineering. Covers experiment templates (actions, targets, stop conditions), the FIS actions catalog and action selection, the scenario library (AZ power interruption, cross-Region connectivity, EC2/EKS/EBS stress), experiment lifecycle and monitoring, logging and reports, multi-account experiments, the experiment IAM role, and blast-radius safety. Applies when…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/fis-actions-reference.md`, `references/fis-api-reference.md` and `references/fis-concepts.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Chaos engineering. It works with Amazon Web Services, AWS CloudFormation and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Official, AWS-supported MCP servers, skills, and plugins to help AI agents build on AWS. The licence is Apache-2.0.
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2cb0fa1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
awsFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
docs.aws.amazon.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
AWS Fault Injection Service loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 258 tokens; SKILL.md has 923 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

.claude/skills/aws-fault-injection-service/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 5 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.Domain expertise for AWS Fault Injection Service (AWS FIS) — a managed chaos-engineering service that runs controlled fault injection experiments on real AWS resources so you can observe how an application responds to disruption and improve its resilience.
This skill lets an agent do three things:
AWS FIS carries out real actions on real AWS resources. Before running any experiment in production, plan it, run it first in pre-production, and always bound the blast radius with a stop condition. Treat fault injection as a privileged, potentially disruptive operation.
The AWS MCP server is recommended for executing this skill's AWS API calls — it provides sandboxed execution and audit logging — but it is not required; all operations also work with the AWS CLI (
aws fis ...) directly.
Before reading a reference file, determine how this skill was loaded:
retrieve_skill tool: the skill's reference files are not on the
local filesystem. Fetch each one through retrieve_skill with the file parameter (e.g.
file="references/fis-concepts.md") — do NOT file_read these paths locally or search the
filesystem for them..kiro/skills/aws-fault-injection-service/ or
~/.claude/skills/aws-fault-injection-service/): read reference files from the local skill directory
using the relative paths shown here.This applies only to the skill's own reference files; always read and write user or session data
in the working directory, never through retrieve_skill.
The exact aws fis operation names and template parameters are documented in
references/fis-api-reference.md, including a table mapping
common wrong API/action names to correct ones. Always consult it before generating commands.
Action IDs and resource types evolve — verify with aws fis list-actions and
aws fis get-action --id <action-id> rather than trusting memory.
When the user describes a failure they want to test rather than a command they want run:
Do not invent action IDs, resource types, or parameters. If unsure, say so and verify with
aws fis list-actions / aws fis get-action or the FIS documentation.
FIS resolves all targets at experiment start; if a target resolves to zero resources, the
experiment fails (unless emptyTargetResolutionMode is skip). Check tags, filters, region,
and account. Use a target preview before running (see workflow reference).
The FIS experiment IAM role is missing permissions for the underlying service API (or SSM, or the confused-deputy trust conditions block the assume). See references/fis-security.md.
A stop condition (CloudWatch alarm) likely fired — this is the guardrail working. Check the
experiment's state.reason and the alarm history. A stopped experiment cannot be resumed; start
a new one from the template.
Some actions require Nitro-based instances or the SSM Agent. Verify prerequisites per action in references/fis-actions-reference.md.
For the CloudWatch alarms, dashboards, and metrics that back FIS stop conditions and experiment reports, recommend the AWS Observability skill for alarm/dashboard setup — keep this skill's guidance to how those signals feed experiment safety and post-experiment analysis.
FIS runs real, potentially destructive actions. Key points (full guidance in references/fis-security.md):

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, AWS Fault Injection Service needs the command-line tools its instructions call (aws).
SKILL.md names 1 domain. As links in the text: docs.aws.amazon.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
AWS Fault Injection Service is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 11k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
