Extracts an answer from logs, traces, or metrics — finding the relevant lines in volume, correlating across services, and telling signal from noise. Use this whenever the user points at a log file, asks what happened at a particular time, mentions grepping logs, wants to know how often something occurs, or is trying to reconstruct a sequence of events across services. For fixing what the logs reveal, use debugging; for the write-up afterwards, use root-cause-analysis.
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
# Log analysis Logs are a haystack that grows faster than you can read it. The skill is not reading logs — it is constructing a query narrow enough to answer one question, then widening only as far as needed. The failure this prevents: scrolling. Scrolling through logs feels like work and finds only what happens to be near the cursor. ## 1. Ask one answerable question Before opening anything, write the question down. "What went wrong?" is not answerable. These are: - Did request `abc-123` reach the payment service? - How many 500s between 14:00 and 14:30, and on which endpoint? - What is the first error after the deploy at 13:47? - Which tenant accounts for the spike? **Done when:** you have a question with a checkable answer. ## 2. Anchor on time and identity Two anchors make everything else tractable: - **A time window:** bound it tightly, then widen. Start a few minutes before the first known symptom, because the cause usually precedes it. - **An identifier:** request ID, trace ID, user, order, tenant. One identifier that threads through services turns a search into a story. …

How to install
mdr add okhp3/skillz/log-analysis@sha256:26f21bf9d4e0abb2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260828.866dec6, 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.
