Triage friction across every agent in the fleet: pull all the ledgers with `protoagent fleet friction`, cluster the signals that more than one agent hit, check what is already filed, draft a filing plan, and — once a fix has shipped — resolve the signal on the agents that recorded it. Read this when asked to triage, review or clear the friction backlog across the fleet, or to find what is costing the most agents the most time.

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

# Triaging fleet friction

Each agent records its own rough edges into its own ledger. One agent's ledger is a
list of complaints; **all of them read together are a map of what the harness gets
wrong.** This skill is the pass that reads the map.

It needs a running hub and a shell. `protoagent fleet friction` reads each member's
ledger through the hub, so it reaches local and remote members alike.

## 1. Pull everything

```bash
protoagent fleet friction --json --since 14d            # open friction, every member
protoagent fleet friction --json --kind harness -v      # harness only, with detail
```

The JSON has `results` (one row per agent, each with `items`), `shared` (signals more
than one agent hit), and `skipped` (stopped or unreachable members). Read `skipped`
and the per-agent `ok`/`error` first: **an agent you could not read is not an agent
with no friction.** Say so in the report.

Each item carries an `id` (8 hex chars, stable across agents for the same
kind+summary), `severity`, `count`, `first_seen`/`last_seen`, `tool` and `detail`.

## 2. Cluster before you rank

Start from `shared`. A signal several agents hit is a harness defect, not one agent's
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add protolabsai/protoagent/triaging-fleet-friction@sha256:504cfb1ee6632c3d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.3a8de0c, 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.
