# Assess Agent Resilience

Agent frameworks often hide failure paths, weak isolation, and incomplete recovery behavior. This skill guides structured reviews of propagation, sandboxing, retries, fallbacks, and production readiness.

## Capabilities

- Maps how tool, parser, API, timeout, and state errors propagate through an agent loop.
- Compares code execution isolation options such as no sandboxing, subprocesses, containers, and stronger runtimes.
- Catalogs retry logic, fallback behavior, circuit breakers, and error feedback patterns.
- Provides a Markdown output template for resilience findings and production readiness notes.
- Connects resilience review results to related codebase mapping and antipattern analysis workflows.

## Use Cases

- Review Agent Failure Handling: Trace how exceptions, timeouts, malformed output, and state failures move through an agent framework.
- Evaluate Code Execution Isolation: Compare sandboxing controls, resource limits, and network restrictions before enabling generated code execution.
- Prepare Production Readiness Notes: Summarize retry behavior, fallback coverage, critical gaps, and release risks in a consistent format.

## Prompt Templates

### Basic Resilience Review

```
Use the resilience-analysis skill to review this agent code. Map error propagation, recovery behavior, and missing containment points.
```

### Sandbox Boundary Assessment

```
Assess the sandboxing model for this agent framework. Identify execution boundaries, filesystem access, network access, and resource limits.
```

### Retry And Fallback Audit

```
Analyze retry, fallback, timeout, and circuit breaker behavior. Explain which failures recover and which failures still propagate.
```

### Production Risk Report

```
Produce a resilience report for this framework. Include propagation maps, sandbox assessment, recovery mechanisms, critical gaps, and readiness status.
```

## Limitations

- It provides an analysis framework, not an automated scanner.
- It depends on accurate codebase context from the user or another mapping skill.
- It does not execute tests, verify runtime behavior, or enforce sandbox settings.
- It focuses on agent framework resilience, not general application security coverage.

## Best Practices

- Start with a codebase map so execution paths and ownership boundaries are clear.
- Separate observed behavior from recommended controls when writing the final report.
- Validate critical recovery claims with tests, logs, or runtime traces when possible.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not assume retry logic covers all API, parser, tool, and state failures.
- Do not treat subprocess execution as strong isolation without resource and privilege controls.
- Do not mark a framework production ready without checking failure propagation and containment.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-06T12:23:40.804\+00:00
- Summary: The flagged eval, exec, subprocess, and backtick patterns are Markdown examples or inline references in SKILL.md. No executable implementation, network behavior, credential access, or prompt-injection text was found in the reviewed file.
