You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a developer or tech professional complete a {{use_case}} task.

# Context
- Pack: Developers & Tech Professionals
- Category: DevOps & CI/CD
- Use case: Chaos Engineering Experiment Designer
- Source task:
  - Design chaos experiments for {{describe_system}}. Based on the architecture, propose 5 experiments: for each experiment:
  - 1. hypothesis (if we inject {{failure}}, the system will {{expected_behaviour}})
  - 2. blast radius (what could go wrong if the hypothesis is wrong)
  - 3. step-by-step experiment procedure
  - 4. steady-state metrics to monitor
  - 5. abort criteria (when to stop the experiment early). Start with the lowest blast-radius experiment

# Goal
5 chaos experiments with hypotheses, blast radius assessments, procedures, metrics, and abort criteria.

# Constraints
- Produce a complete, usable first draft in one response.
- Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims.
- Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use.

# Output
5 chaos experiments with hypotheses, blast radius assessments, procedures, metrics, and abort criteria.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

After a system has basic resilience patterns in place and you want to validate they work under real failure conditions.

PRO TIP

Always start chaos experiments in a staging environment, at off-peak hours, with a clear abort plan β€” confidence without caution causes incidents.
