Scale Game

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses uncertainties about scalability, unclear edge cases, and architectural validation by forcing you to test solutions at extreme scales (e.g., 1000x bigger/smaller, instant/year-long durations). It exposes fundamental truths hidden at normal scales, preventing costly production surprises.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Extreme Scenario Testing: Guides you to evaluate your approach under minimal and maximal conditions across dimensions like volume, speed, users, and duration.
• Limit Identification: Helps you discover where your current design breaks down and what fundamental truths are revealed at these extremes.
• Architectural Validation: Provides insights to validate or refine your architecture early, preventing surprises in production.
• Use Case: You're designing an error handling system. Testing it at "1 billion errors per second" (extreme maximum) would reveal the need for making errors impossible or expecting them, rather than just logging.

Quick Start

I'm designing a new API and need to understand its scalability limits. Guide me through the Scale Game to test its behavior at extreme volumes.
