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

# Queen / Colony Debug Skill

SOP for live debugging of queen sessions, colony forks, worker spawns, and tracker DB plumbing without touching the user's production Hive Desktop. Use this when something is wrong in the create_colony → tracker → run_parallel_workers → worker pipeline.

## Trigger

User asks you to debug, reproduce, or verify behavior in:
- Queen DM sessions, colony sessions, `fork_session_into_colony`
- `ColonyBinding` propagation (queen exec context, worker `input_data`)
- `tracker_sql` / `tracker_register_writable` / `tracker_upsert` / `tracker_query`
- `run_parallel_workers` preflight
- Phantom `colonies/session_<uuid>/` shadow folders (the original split-brain bug)
- Session resume from disk, queen phase transitions (independent → incubating → colony)

Examples: "queen says no such table", "workers can't see what queen wrote", "phantom colony folder appeared", "verify my colony refactor didn't break anything".

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aden-hive/hive/queen-colony-debug@sha256:aa7001b1fbe95d92

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260809.6dafbbe, 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.
