Rehearse Failure with Injected Faults

A system that has never failed on purpose is a system whose failure behaviour is untested. This skill covers fault injection for agent systems: inject one fault at a time in a place that can be reversed, start in a low risk environment before a live one, watch the recovery path rather than only the fault itself, bound the impact so a rehearsal cannot cause the harm it was meant to reveal, and record what was injected so a real incident can be told apart from a drill.

Commands

$ openclaw command add --name "fault-drill" --trigger "/fault-drill" --source "Ops Console" --message "Run one injected fault at a time in a place that can be reversed, so failure behaviour is seen before it is met for real."

$ openclaw alert-rule add --name "Fault Injected" --group-by "service" --window "5m" --action "Alert when an injected fault is active, so a real incident in the same window is not mistaken for a rehearsal."

$ openclaw auto-fix add --name "Stop Drill" --condition "drill.active and fault.impact > drill.budget" --action "Stop the injected fault and restore the path, rather than letting a rehearsal cause the harm it was meant to reveal." --approval "auto" --notify "#ops-info" --cooldown "15m"

$ openclaw runbook add --name "Fault Injection" --trigger "/runbook drill" --tags "advanced,ops" --steps "Inject one fault. Start low risk. Watch the recovery path. Bound the impact. Record what was injected."

Rehearse Failure with Injected Faults

# Rehearse failure with injected faults A system that has never failed on purpose has never shown how it recovers. Injecting one fault at a time, in a place that can be reversed, turns an assumption about recovery into something seen. ## One fault at a time Two faults at once make the result impo
