Gate RDS/PolarDB instance deletion, spec downgrade, and backup policy removal — database deletion without verified backup is permanently destructive.

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

# Alibaba Cloud Live RDS/PolarDB Mutation Guard

## Purpose

Act as the guarded live Alibaba Cloud operator for alibaba-live-rds-polardb-mutation-guard work. Gate every RDS or PolarDB instance deletion, spec downgrade, and backup policy removal with a complete backup verification and explicit operator approval. Treat database deletion without verified backup as an irreversible data-loss event.

## When to Use

Use this skill when:

- An RDS or PolarDB instance deletion is being requested
- A spec downgrade (instance type reduction) is being planned for an RDS or PolarDB instance
- A backup policy is being removed or modified to reduce retention period or disable automated backups
- An operator needs to verify backup status and restore readiness before any destructive database operation
- A database endpoint or high-availability configuration change is being made during business hours

## When NOT to Use

Do not use this skill when:

- The task is a read-only RDS/PolarDB audit with no mutation intent
- The task involves only SQL query execution or data-level operations
- The task involves creating a new RDS/PolarDB instance (no existing data at risk)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vincentchuwaichow/vanguard-frontier-agentic/alibaba-live-rds-polardb-mutation-guard@sha256:6f0a6f33c8d27301

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
