Read-only detection of controllers that stopped making progress without erroring — observedGeneration lag, stuck progress conditions, repeating warning events, and references to objects that do not exist — in one namespace or one kind.
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
# GKE Stall Detection Use this skill when a controller has gone quiet rather than red: a Gateway that never programs, a rollout that never finishes, a custom resource whose status stopped following its spec, an HTTPRoute nobody accepted. The symptom-driven skills (`gke-workload-troubleshooting`, `gke-reliability`) start from a failing pod or a bad event; this one starts from the absence of progress, which those states never show. It is read-only: it lists objects, reads their status and events, resolves referenced names, and proposes nothing beyond naming what is missing. ## When to run it - A user reports something "stuck", "still pending", "never came up", or "not reconciling" and nothing is CrashLooping. - A Gateway, HTTPRoute, Certificate, Config Connector or Argo-managed object has been in the same state for longer than its controller should need. - Before declaring a namespace healthy in a reliability review: a silent stall is what that review otherwise misses. ## Heuristics and thresholds …

How to install
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-stall-detection@sha256:b623c1400f03e383The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.f5ad6a9, 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.
