Use this skill when planning capacity, redundancy, graceful degradation, or recovery for systems that must keep working under stress — performance budgets, dependency failure handling, retry logic, error budgets, infrastructure capacity. Trigger when scoping infrastructure, designing error-handling architecture, planning for failure modes, or reviewing reliability incidents. Sub-aspect of `factor-of-safety`; read that first.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'factor-of-safety-failure-margin' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'factor-of-safety-failure-margin' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named factor-of-safety-failure-margin already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '70b6a3a3a7c774671e45af646306e1448baf0511' -- 'plugins/HDeibler/universal-design-principles/plugins/process-and-robustness-principles/skills/factor-of-safety-failure-margin' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/HDeibler/universal-design-principles/plugins/process-and-robustness-principles/skills/factor-of-safety-failure-margin' ~/.agents/skills/'factor-of-safety-failure-margin' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'factor-of-safety-failure-margin' ~/.claude/skills/'factor-of-safety-failure-margin' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
