Use when Flux does not deploy or update something in Kubernetes: a GitRepository, OCIRepository or HelmRepository that is not Ready ("couldn't find remote ref", "authentication required"), a Kustomization that is not Ready ("kustomization path not found", "kustomize build failed", "dependency ... is not ready", health check timeouts), a HelmRelease that is not Ready (HelmChart "invalid chart reference", InstallFailed, UpgradeFailed, RetriesExceeded), changes in Git that never reach the…
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
# Flux troubleshooting Find out why Flux does not deploy or update a workload, and propose a fix. **Read first, ask before changing.** Run the investigation commands freely. Run a command under an "Ask first" line only after the user approves that exact command; if your credentials do not allow it, give it to the user to run. Never run a "Proposed fix"; hand it to the user. Flux works in a chain. A **source** (GitRepository, OCIRepository, HelmRepository, Bucket) fetches an artifact. A **Kustomization** builds and applies a path from that artifact; a **HelmRelease** installs a chart, through a **HelmChart** that Flux creates from the HelmRelease. Every object reports `Ready`, and the first object in the chain that is not Ready holds the cause. Follow the chain from the object that deploys the workload back to its source. The commands use placeholders: `flux-system` (where Flux and most of its objects live), `my-app` (the Kustomization or HelmRelease, and its source), and `my-namespace` (where the workload runs). Replace them with the real names; Flux objects can live in any namespace. Never read Secrets: not Git or registry credentials, not SOPS keys, not values or …

How to install
mdr add k8s-servant/k8s-skills/k8s-flux-troubleshooting@sha256:093a4760ee8ec38fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.6d10670, 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.
