Use when anything misbehaves - a failing test, a production bug, a build break, flaky or unexpected behavior - before proposing or attempting any fix. Especially under pressure ("CI is blocking everyone", "just get it green") and after a previous fix didn't hold.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# refire A plate comes back to the kitchen. The line's instinct is to fire the same dish again, faster; the chef's job is to find out why it came back first, because a refire of the same mistake comes back twice and now the diner is angrier. This skill is the chef's version of debugging: no fix until the cause of the sendback is known. **Core principle:** no fixes without root cause first. A fix that makes the symptom disappear without explaining it is not a fix, it is a scheduled second incident. **Violating the letter of this process is violating its spirit.** ## Find out why it came back Before any fix, in order: 1. **Read the error, all of it.** The full traceback, the line numbers, the actual message. It frequently names the cause outright. 2. **Reproduce it.** Trigger it reliably with the smallest input you can. Cannot reproduce? Gather more evidence; do not guess. 3. **Check what changed.** `git log` and `git diff` around when it broke: recent commits, new dependencies, config or environment drift. Most bugs are young. …

How to install
mdr add escoffier-labs/brigade/refire@sha256:f800ce970aff1c4fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260702.963264c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
