guard-shared-runtime SKILL.md skillA

guard-shared-runtime from haiggoh/free-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add haiggoh/free-agents/guard-shared-runtime@git:20261031.530a28e

Pins git:20261031.530a28e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use BEFORE modifying the local execution environment (installing packages, upgrading dependencies, changing config) or when the local inference server behaves unexpectedly. Triggered by dependency changes, reinstall checks, or server wedges. Do NOT use for verifying output, isolating work, or composing payloads.

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

# guard-shared-runtime — protect the shared environment

The local runtime (Python env, vllm-mlx server, config files) is shared across sessions and dispatches. Blind upgrades or unchecked failures can break subsequent work.

## Check-don't-blind-upgrade
Before installing or upgrading any dependency in the shared virtual environment:
1. **Dry-run:** Simulate the change to detect transitive churn. `--dry-run` resolves and reports what it
   *would* install without touching the environment; it needs **pip >= 22.2** (check with `pip --version`).
   ```bash
   pip install --dry-run <package>
   ```
   Read the resolved set, not just the headline: a dependency being *downgraded* or *added* is the churn you
   are looking for.
2. **Verify stability:** Ensure no critical packages are downgraded or removed.
3. **Defer if risky:** If the dry-run shows significant churn, defer the upgrade to a supervised moment or use an isolated environment for that specific task.

## Make-before-break
Replacing anything live — a session, a proxy, a service, a LaunchAgent, a symlink a tool resolves
through — follows one order: bring the replacement UP and VERIFY it before stopping the original.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add haiggoh/free-agents/guard-shared-runtime@sha256:4fe64d49be987acc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.530a28e, 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.
