Designing Distributed-System Tests
The default for testing distributed and stateful systems — write a few integration tests and call it done — finds a small fraction of the bugs that actually break these systems in production. This skill enforces an opinionated workflow: scope the change, generate failure-mode hypotheses that cover the categories the literature says matter most, pick techniques from a curated catalog, and emit a structured plan file that the executing-distributed-system-tests skill (or a human) can run.
Plan modes
This skill produces two shapes of plan. Decide which one applies before you start; the steps below branch on it.
- Change-scoped — the default. Use when the caller names a commit, PR, branch-diff, or feature. The plan covers what this change could regress, scoped by its blast radius.
- Project-wide — use when the caller asks for a "release-validation plan", "stability plan for the whole system", "test plan to enough coverage", "what should we be testing", or otherwise frames the request without a specific change. The plan covers what the system should be tested for, with an explicit inventory of existing tests and a gap analysis driving the new-scenario list.
If the framing is ambiguous, ask once before starting — the modes diverge enough that retrofitting one into the other wastes work.
Process
Follow these steps in order. Do not skip; the order matters because later steps depend on artifacts the earlier steps produce.
1. Scope the system
Read the project's entry points: README, AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md,
top-level docs/, any existing test-plan or runbook files. Note:
- Tenancy / isolation model
- Persistence model (what is durable, fsync contract)
- Replication / consensus protocol, quorum, leadership
- Ordering guarantee exposed to clients
- Network boundaries (which RPCs / streams)
- Retry / idempotency contract
- Observability (logs, metrics, traces) available to an oracle
Write this as a one-paragraph SUT model. If anything is ambiguous from the repo, ask the user before proceeding — do not invent guarantees.
1b. Extract claims and guarantees
A good test plan exists to falsify what the product claims. Before generating hypotheses, write down what the SUT promises its users. This is the spine the rest of the plan hangs off — every hypothesis, every scenario, every oracle should be traceable back to a claim it either confirms or refutes.
Sources to mine:
- README "guarantees" / "what we offer" sections
- API docs / reference manuals
- ARCHITECTURE / DESIGN docs (claims about consistency, durability, replication, fault tolerance)
- Public blog posts, talks, marketing material (if any)
- The code itself: function names, doc-comments on public APIs,
error types (
IdempotencyConflict,StaleRead, etc.) imply guarantees the system claims to enforce - Existing test names (a test called
linearizable_under_partitionimplies a linearizability claim under partition)
Categorise each claim:
- Safety — "the system never returns a stale read", "no acknowledged write is ever lost", "linearizable per key"
- Liveness — "every accepted operation eventually commits", "leader election completes within N seconds of crash"
- Durability — "fsync'd writes survive crash", "replicated writes survive single-AZ loss"
- Performance / SLO — "p99 append latency ≤ X ms at Y ops/s per session"
- Operational — "rolling upgrade is non-disruptive", "configuration changes are atomic"
- Idempotency / dedup — "same idempotency key never produces two committed effects"
- Isolation — "tenant A's reads never observe tenant B's writes", "no read returns data from a transaction that has not yet committed"
- Ordering — "consumers always see messages in the order the producer sent them", "every reader sees a prefix of the global log order"
- Membership — "a node that fails its liveness probe is removed from the cluster membership view within N seconds", "every joined member appears in the membership table exactly once"
- Boundary — access-boundary semantics: "tenant A's data is never
reachable from tenant B on any surface", "a request scoped to
namespace X never routes to namespace Y". Subsumes tenancy / authz
/ namespace / routing / multi-protocol; do not file those as
separate categories. Triggers the §7.M.S surface-decomposition
discipline (see step 3 and
references/boundary-and-isolation-testing.md). - Fairness — per-group performance and noisy-neighbor isolation: "no tenant can starve another for throughput", "one shard's load does not blow another shard's p99". Group can be tenant, shard, queue, partition, region, priority class, user, table, or workload class. Also triggers §7.M.S.
If the project does NOT explicitly document a claim that appears in the code, write it as an inferred claim and mark it as such — inferred claims are still testable, and surfacing them often catches places where the docs lie or are silent about real guarantees the implementation depends on.
When done, you should have a numbered claims list (C1, C2, …). The hypothesis-generation step (step 3) will reference these by number, the coverage matrix (template §5) tracks claim × hypothesis, and scenarios (template §7) state which claim(s) each is trying to falsify. If a hypothesis cannot be tied back to a claim, either name the missing claim explicitly or drop the hypothesis — untethered hypotheses produce ceremonial scenarios.
Missing claims are a first-class finding. During hypothesis generation (step 3) you will encounter behaviors the implementation relies on that no claim covers — Unicode normalisation policy, specific timeout windows, edge-case error semantics. List these in the plan's "Missing claims discovered" section (template §1c). Surfacing them is one of the highest-value outputs of the whole exercise: it tells the maintainer where docs and implementation have drifted apart.
2. Scope the change OR the project
Change-scoped: Identify the commit, PR, or feature under test. List every file touched and the surfaces (RPCs, on-disk formats, replication messages, public APIs) affected. Build a one-paragraph blast-radius statement.
Project-wide: No specific change. Instead, enumerate the system's externally observable surfaces (public APIs, on-disk formats, wire protocols, replication/consensus, background jobs, operational controls) and the invariants each must preserve. Declare what is in-scope and what is explicitly out-of-scope (adapters, ancillary tools, demo apps) — a project-wide plan that tries to cover everything covers nothing well.
2b. Inventory existing tests (project-wide only)
Walk the SUT's test surface: unit tests, integration tests, fault- injection / stability harnesses, smoke scripts, CI workflows, and any test-plan / runbook docs. For each notable test or harness, capture: what subsystem, what invariant it pins, and what failure modes it would catch. This becomes the left-hand column of the coverage matrix in step 4b.
Do not re-test what is already covered well. The point of the gap analysis is to surface what is NOT covered.
3. Generate failure-mode hypotheses
For each claim from step 1b, ask: under what conditions could the SUT fail to honor this claim? Each hypothesis must be tied to one or more claims by number ("could falsify C3 and C7"). Tests exist to refute claims, not to "check that things work" — a passing test should mean "this claim survived this fault", and a failing test should name the claim it falsified.
Walk the pitfall catalog. Before generating hypotheses from
intuition, open references/common-distributed-systems-pitfalls.md.
It lists 16 failure modes that recur across the Jepsen analyses
corpus, each with a hypothesis template ready to paste-adapt. For
every pitfall, decide if it applies to this SUT: y / n / maybe.
Every y and most maybes become hypothesis rows. This shortcut
prevents the common failure mode of plans that only test what the
agent already thought of.
Generate hypotheses for each touched surface (change-scoped) or in-scope surface (project-wide) across these categories: correctness, durability, liveness, partial failure, idempotency / replay, upgrade / rollback, configuration, performance / fairness.
If a category is genuinely not applicable, say so explicitly. The act of writing "N/A because…" surfaces wrong assumptions more often than it sounds like it would.
Boundary and fairness claims trigger §7.M.S. When you encounter a
claim about tenant isolation, authz, namespace, routing,
multi-protocol access, compatibility across API surfaces, or
per-group fairness (noisy-neighbor, queue-group, per-region), tag it
with the boundary or fairness category in §1b. Both categories
trigger the surface-decomposition discipline in §7.M.S of every
scenario that falsifies them — see
references/boundary-and-isolation-testing.md for the boundary
claim matrix template and surface catalogs.
In project-wide mode the list is typically larger (the system has more surfaces than any single change). Group hypotheses by subsystem so the gap-analysis table stays readable.
4. Select techniques
Open references/catalog-index.md and find the techniques that match
your hypotheses. For each technique you pick, open its reference file
and write down in the plan: which hypotheses it addresses, what it
would catch that other techniques would miss, the typical cost.
For scenarios that will be serious (any claim in {safety, durability, idempotency, isolation, ordering, membership}), also open the
executing skill's references/oracle-patterns.md and use the
"Checker picker" table at the top to pick the checker(s) matching
your model and claim category. The checker choice is part of the
plan, not a runtime decision.
A change usually warrants 2–4 techniques in combination. One technique is suspicious — re-check whether you've collapsed multiple distinct hypotheses into one. A project-wide plan typically reaches further across the catalog (5–7 techniques) because the surface is larger.
4b. Map coverage and identify gaps (project-wide only)
Build a table indexed by claim, not just by hypothesis. Each row: the claim (C-number), the hypothesis that would falsify it, the existing test(s) (from step 2b) that exercise it, the verdict (covered / partial / not covered), and the gap kind (no test / shallow test / oracle too weak / no fault-injection variant). Sort by claim severity × gap so the highest-leverage gaps end up at the top.
This table is the heart of the project-wide plan. It tells the maintainer where the product's claims are unverified. Without it the plan is just a wishlist.
For very large systems (50+ claims, 100+ hypotheses), split the matrix. A per-claim summary table (one row per clai

Skill purpose: 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 / upgrade / crash-recovery / linearizability / deterministic-simulation plan, tenant isolation / authz / boundary plan, namespace isolation plan, fairness / noisy-neighbor plan, \"what should we be testing\", or \"make a holistic test plan\".
