What it does

Chaos Iter is an agent skill from celeriant/celeriant-db. Delegate one rpi-cluster chaos iteration and summarize integrity and replication metrics during data-loss or failover investigations.

Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Databases, covering Backup and disaster recovery. The repository describes itself as: Fast, distributed per-aggregate event log with strict ordering and optimistic concurrency control. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Backup and disaster recovery

Example prompts

  • “/chaos-iter”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Run from the repository root with a 600-second timeout
  2. Capture the exit status and announced run directory. Read /.json; use /harness.log for failures. Do not substitute an older run if output…
  3. Report fewer than 200 words containing

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d071a6d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    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.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Chaos Iter loads about 422 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 135 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~422

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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.

Run one chaos iteration

Use the full harness output for setup or harness debugging. Use --soak <secs> for continuous runs.

Dispatch a general-purpose agent synchronously with the scenario, task count, repository path, and these instructions:

  1. Run from the repository root with a 600-second timeout:

    bash
    bash deploy/rpi-cluster/chaos.sh --scenario <SCENARIO> --tasks <TASKS>
  2. Capture the exit status and announced run directory. Read <run_dir>/<SCENARIO>.json; use <run_dir>/harness.log for failures. Do not substitute an older run if output is missing.

  3. Report fewer than 200 words containing:

    • Run directory, exit status, and any timeout or missing output.
    • Integrity: tasks_audited, tasks_with_gaps, total_missing_acks, tasks_unreadable.
    • Deep audit: aggregates_inspected, aggregates_with_duplicates, aggregates_unreadable; count FP entries where present_count >= max_acked && missing_seqs == [], and REAL entries otherwise.
    • Per-host counters from each host's last ok=true sample: cs1=192.168.88.214, cs2=192.168.88.213.

Extract these counters:

text
writes_total
rollbacks_total
cache_recent_write_hits_total
aggregate_details_snapshot_lag_total
write_validate_loop_crossed_rollback_total
write_rolled_back_pre_replicate_total
write_rolled_back_during_replicate_total
capture_dropped_items_total
fsync_capture_no_capture_race_total

Mark unavailable fields as missing. Omit sample streams, bench logs, and full audit entries.
