circuit-breaker-pattern skillA

circuit-breaker-pattern is agent-read markdown (skill) from pjt222/agent-almanac: Implement circuit breaker logic for agentic tool calls — tracking tool health, transitioning between closed/open/half-open states, reducing task scope when tools fail, routing to alternatives via capability maps, and enforcing failure budgets to prevent error accumulation. Separates orchestration (deciding what to attempt) from execution (calling tools), following the expeditor pattern. Use when building agents that depend on multiple tools with varying reliability, designing fault-tolerant agen.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/circuit-breaker-pattern@v1.1
Exact content
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/circuit-breaker-pattern@sha256:14d6f127b045bd37

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
