General

What this skill does


# Network Simulation Skill

Expert skill for network condition simulation, emulation, and chaos engineering testing environments.

## Capabilities

- **Traffic Control**: Configure tc (traffic control) for latency, bandwidth, and packet loss simulation
- **Network Namespaces**: Set up network namespaces for network isolation testing
- **WAN Emulation**: Emulate WAN conditions with netem (delay, jitter, loss, corruption)
- **Virtual Topologies**: Create virtual network topologies for testing
- **Packet Manipulation**: Simulate packet loss, reordering, duplication, and corruption
- **Degraded Conditions Testing**: Test applications under degraded network conditions
- **Chaos Scenarios**: Generate chaos engineering scenarios for resilience testing
- **Container Networking**: Configure Docker/Kubernetes network simulation

## Tools and Dependencies

- `tc` - Traffic control for Linux
- `netem` - Network emulator
- `ip netns` - Network namespaces
- `mininet` - Network emulator
- `toxiproxy` - TCP proxy for chaos testing
- `comcast` - Network simulation tool
- `pumba` - Container chaos testing

## Target Processes

- network-testing-framework.js
- load-testing-tool.js
- protocol-fuzzer.js
- tcp-socket-server.js

## Usage Examples

### Latency Simulation
```bash
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 100ms 20ms distribution normal
tc qdisc change dev eth0 root netem delay 200ms 40ms 25% correlation
```

### Packet Loss Simulation
```bash
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem loss 5% 25%
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem loss gemodel 1% 10% 70% 0.1%
```

### Bandwidth Limiting
```bash
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 1mbit burst 32kbit latency 400ms
```

### Network Namespace Isolation
```bash
ip netns add test_ns
ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1
ip link set veth1 netns test_ns
ip netns exec test_ns ip addr add 10.0.0.2/24 dev veth1
ip netns exec test_ns ip link set veth1 up
```

### Toxiproxy Chaos
```bash
toxiproxy-cli create -l localhost:6379 -u localhost:6380 redis_proxy
toxiproxy-cli toxic add -t latency -a latency=1000 redis_proxy
```

## Quality Gates

- Network conditions applied correctly
- Application behavior under degraded conditions verified
- Chaos scenarios executed successfully
- Recovery testing completed
- Performance baselines established

let-fate-decide

Included

Draws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.
