README
expect-the-unexpected
A scenario-driven failure-mode analysis skill for AI coding agents — Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and any host that supports the [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) format.
Give it **one specific scenario** — "a payment webhook arrives twice", "a user uploads a 2GB file" — and it traces the execution path, surfaces what could break (ranked by risk), and proposes a concrete mitigation or test case for each. Or, when you *don't* know what to worry about, give it a **bounded surface** — a diff/PR, a file, an endpoint, or a feature description — and it generates the riskiest scenarios for you, ranked, then analyzes the ones you pick. Works at design time (before code exists) as well as on existing code.
Install
This repo **is** the skill package. Clone it, then link or copy it into the skills directory your agent expects.
| Agent / host | Project path | Global path |
|---|---|---|
| Open standard | .agents/skills/expect-the-unexpected/ |
~/.agents/skills/expect-the-unexpected/ |

Cursor also loads `.claude/skills/` and `.codex/skills/` for compatibility, but installing to the path for your primary agent keeps discovery explicit.
