trajectory-review SKILL.md skillA

trajectory-review from minimax-ai/mcode-stack is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add minimax-ai/mcode-stack/trajectory-review@git:20261028.c889a19

Pins git:20261028.c889a19 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Review how an agent reached its result, not only whether the result passed, covering tools called, detours, unverified assumptions and wasted round trips, and turn the findings into concrete harness or prompt fixes. Use after an agent task finishes or fails, when an eval task flips, or when asked to look at the process behind a result.

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

# Trajectory Review

A passing result can hide a fragile process: an assumption that happened to
hold, a lucky retry, ten round trips where two would do. A failing result
usually has its cause several steps before the error. Review the path, not
only the end point.

## 1. Get the real trajectory

Use the actual record of the run: the session transcript, tool-call log, or
eval trace. Note the model, settings and repository state. Do not reconstruct
the run from memory.

## 2. Walk it step by step

Build a compact timeline. For each step: what the agent intended, which tool
it called with which key arguments, what came back, and what it decided next.

While walking, mark:

- **Unverified assumptions.** The agent states or acts on something it never
  checked ("callers already validate this", "the test passes").
- **Detours.** Loops, repeated searches with changing keywords, re-reading the
  same file, retries without a change in approach.
- **Wrong tool or wrong arguments.** Including tools it could not find.
- **Context waste.** Large outputs pulled in and never used, polling instead of
  waiting for a notification.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add minimax-ai/mcode-stack/trajectory-review@sha256:1d0fee5abd2ab8c2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.c889a19, 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.
