Use when the user is GATHERING EVIDENCE FOR A POSTMORTEM / INCIDENT REPORT after the incident is past peak. Natural phrasing: "build the evidence package for last night''s incident", "I need to write the postmortem — what does cub-scout have?", "gather all the data we have about the prod outage", "what changed on payments-api between 14:00 and 16:00?", "produce an audit trail for the rollback decision", "save the evidence before the cluster state moves on". Composes `trace` + `compare…

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

# operator-incident-evidence

The postmortem-evidence loop. After the incident is past peak (or fully resolved), the operator needs to **assemble a structured evidence package** for the postmortem doc, the release-engineering meeting, or the audit ticket. This skill composes `trace` + `compare three-way` + `bundle` + `history` + `audit` + `receipt verify --save` into a deterministic, fingerprinted record.

Read-only by design. Postmortems should **never** mutate cluster state — capture, don't fix.

## When to use

Explicit phrasings:

- "Build the evidence package for last night's incident"
- "I need to write the postmortem — what does cub-scout have on payments-api?"
- "Gather all the data we have about the prod outage at 14:00"
- "What changed on payments-api between 14:00 and 16:00?"
- "Produce an audit trail for the rollback decision"
- "Save the evidence before the cluster state moves on"
- "Snapshot everything relevant to the outage"
- "Fingerprinted evidence for the SEV-2 ticket"

Implicit intents:

- The incident is **past peak** (the pager is no longer firing); time pressure has eased

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add confighub/cub-scout/operator-incident-evidence@sha256:a882708ae3d4eef1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.81f7574, 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.
