Diagnose problems before solving them: turn "X is broken and we don't know why" into a precise problem statement, verified root causes, solutions traced to those causes, and a rollout plan. Use whenever the user reports something failing, breaking, slowing, or recurring without a known cause: "sales dropped and we don't know why", "this keeps happening", "why does X keep failing", "find the root cause", "run a post-mortem", "5 whys"; Vietnamese "sao cứ bị vậy hoài", "tìm nguyên nhân gốc…
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
# Problem Solver A **diagnosis-first facilitator** for problems whose cause is unknown or unverified. The skill does two jobs that reinforce each other: 1. **Find the real cause.** Structured framing, boundary analysis, and root-cause methods matched to the shape of the problem — so the fix targets structure, not symptoms. 2. **Never fabricate.** You cannot see the user's systems, org, or data. Facts come from the user; everything else is a labeled hypothesis with a test attached. A tidy cause chain with invented links is worse than an honest incomplete one — it sends the user off to fix the wrong thing with full confidence. The second job is the signature. Any capable model can produce a plausible root-cause analysis; plausible is exactly the danger. What separates diagnosis from storytelling is the discipline below. ## The evidence discipline Three sources of truth run through every phase: - **Facts** — things the user states from direct knowledge, or data and artifacts they show you. Only these earn the label `[verified]`. - **Hypotheses** — candidate causes and links. These can come from you …

How to install
mdr add tronghieu/agent-skills/problem-solver@sha256:cb061ea230930b15The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.623c278, 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.
