Use when the user wants to SEE what is running in a Kubernetes cluster, who owns it, and how it is structured — the read-only Observe verb group of cub-scout. Natural phrasing: "what is running in my cluster?", "give me a map of resources", "who owns this Deployment?", "trace this back to its source", "show me the ownership tree", "scan this cluster for risk", "dump the cluster as JSON", "stream cluster events", "run cub-scout as a bot", "what is the connection status?…

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

# scout-observe

The Observe verb group of cub-scout. Ten commands that show what is running in a cluster and who owns it — without modifying anything.

## When to use

Explicit phrasings:

- "What is running in my cluster?" / "show me the Deployments in namespace prod"
- "Give me a map of ownership" / "who manages this resource?"
- "Trace deploy/api back to its Git source" / "what created this?"
- "Show me the ownership tree" / "render the resource hierarchy"
- "Scan this cluster for risk" / "scan this manifest file"
- "Dump cluster state as JSON" / "snapshot the namespace"
- "Stream cluster events to a webhook"
- "Run cub-scout as an in-cluster observer bot"
- "What's my connection status?" / "am I connected to ConfigHub?"
- "Is this cluster healthy?" / "give me a one-screen status"

Implicit intents the skill should catch:

- The user wants a *picture* of the cluster, not a diagnosis or remediation
- The user wants a stable JSON / ASCII artifact (for an agent, an audit, or a pipeline)
- The user is starting a triage and needs to know what they're looking at before going deeper

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add confighub/cub-scout/scout-observe@sha256:f2c5c02b624fa1d9

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.
