shenli/distributed-system-testingSkill
Use when designing a test plan for a distributed or stateful system — anything with persistence, replication, consensus, retries, idempotency, async messaging, multi-tenancy, or partial failure. Plans are claim-driven: investigate the product's claimed guarantees first, then design hypotheses and scenarios that try to falsify those claims under fault. Handles change-scoped plans (a commit / PR / feature) and project-wide plans (holistic, with existing-test inventory and gap analysis). Also use when asked to write a stability plan, fault matrix, release-validation plan, durability / partition /
Why this score
This repo hosts 2 skills, so its 231 stars are split between them (about 116 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 58/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit 641486130536, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
