LLM Failure Mode Audit Pack —
XELANTA Edition

Diagnose production failures before changing prompts or architecture.

Incident-time use only. Markdown artifacts.

Example markdown template titled "Failure Mode Protocol" showing a classification framework for production failures. The template includes a triage section with checkboxes for reproducible status and urgency level. Below that is a failure classification section with options for model failure, context failure, and system failure, each with specific diagnostic questions.

This pack is designed for incident-time use only. It is not intended for training or post-mortems.

When to use this

You have an active incident.

Multiple people have conflicting hypotheses about what's wrong. There's pressure to "just try something" — change the prompt, adjust the temperature, swap the model.

This pack forces you to classify the failure before making changes.

You can't "fix" what you haven't diagnosed.

What this pack does

Forces classification of the failure

Before you change anything, you must identify whether this is a model problem, a context problem, or a system problem.

Blocks unproductive actions

If you can't reproduce the failure or if the boundary is unclear, the pack stops you from proceeding.

Identifies system vs. model boundaries

Separates what the LLM can control from what the system must handle.

Forces a final decision

Accept the failure, revert changes, escalate to architecture, or stop all changes. No more endless iteration.

What this pack is not

✗ Not observability

This doesn't log or monitor. It diagnoses after the fact.

✗ Not red teaming

This doesn't prevent failures. It classifies them when they happen.

✗ Not evaluation tooling

This doesn't run tests or generate metrics.

✗ Not prevention

This doesn't stop failures from happening.

✗ Not optimization

This doesn't improve performance. It stops thrashing.

audit_mirror_prompt.md

System prompt that flags incomplete diagnosis.

README.md

Usage instructions. No fluff.

File format

ZIP file with plain markdown (.md) files. No proprietary tools. No subscriptions. Just files you can edit and version control.

Who should buy this

✓ Buy this if you are in an active incident

And you need to stop thrashing before making more changes.

✓ Buy this if you need to stop thrashing

Multiple people are proposing different fixes. You need structure that forces classification first.

✓ Buy this if you need to decide before changing anything

You can't afford another failed iteration. You need a forced decision point.

✗ Do not buy this if:

  • • You are exploring ideas
  • • You want metrics or dashboards
  • • You want to improve performance

This pack doesn't optimize. It diagnoses.

"This pack is priced for incident-time use,
where one wrong change costs more than the pack."
