post-mortem SKILL.md skillA

post-mortem from baphuongna/pi-crew is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add baphuongna/pi-crew/post-mortem@git:20260911.c97bc57

Pins git:20260911.c97bc57 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Write engineering RCA record after bug is fixed. When NOT to use: unresolved bugs (use systematic-debugging first); minor fixes that don't warrant RCA.

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

# post-mortem

The canonical engineering record of a bug fix. Written after debugging lands a real fix.

## Required Inputs — Refuse to Draft Without These

- [ ] **Reliable repro exists** (deterministic or high-rate flake)
- [ ] **Root cause is known** (mechanism identified, not a hypothesis)
- [ ] **Fix is identified** (PR / commit / branch)
- [ ] **Fix is validated** (original repro now passes)

If any missing → list what's missing and stop. Do not draft.

## Structure

### 1. Summary

What broke (user terms), what fixed it (one sentence). JIRA key, PR, owner. A reader who stops here should have the right answer.

### 2. Symptom

Concrete: test output, error message, log line. No paraphrase. What was actually observed.

### 3. Root Cause

The actual bug mechanism. Code identifiers welcome — function names, file paths, branch conditions. Walk the cause chain end-to-end.

### 4. Why It Produced the Symptom

Walk the chain so reader connects symptom to cause. Often non-obvious — bug is in X but visible failure is in Y.

### 5. Fix
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add baphuongna/pi-crew/post-mortem@sha256:940c39653c34910f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.c97bc57, 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.
