Diagnose and debug FinFocus connectivity, config resolution, cache issues, plugin errors, and zero cost results. Use when a cost command returns $0, a plugin will not start, config.hujson is ignored, or output shows PLUGIN_ERROR, VALIDATION_ERROR, TIMEOUT_ERROR, or NO_COST_DATA. Triggers on: "diagnose", "debug", "connectivity", "zero cost", "cache issue", "plugin error", "config resolution", "PLUGIN_ERROR", "VALIDATION_ERROR", "TIMEOUT_ERROR", "NO_COST_DATA".

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.

# Diagnose FinFocus

This skill is FinFocus-specific. Read the reference that matches the symptom
before changing config or deleting cache files.

Install: `npx skills add rshade/finfocus -s finfocus-diagnose`.

## 1. Name the symptom

| What you see | Open |
| --- | --- |
| `connection refused`, `broken pipe`, `EOF`, `no such file or directory`, bind timeout | [Plugin connectivity](references/decision-trees.md) |
| The wrong plugins load, or an edit has no effect | [Config resolution](references/diagnostic-commands.md) |
| Stale prices, (cached) on the adapter, or a locked `cache.db` | [Cache](references/decision-trees.md) |
| Every resource is `$0`, or a note starts with `VALIDATION:` or `ERROR:` | [Zero cost](references/decision-trees.md) |
| `PLUGIN_ERROR`, `VALIDATION_ERROR`, `TIMEOUT_ERROR`, `NO_COST_DATA` | [Error codes](references/error-codes.md) |

Commands, flags, and environment variables:
[references/diagnostic-commands.md](references/diagnostic-commands.md).

## 2. Collect evidence before changing anything

```bash
finfocus plugin list --verbose
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rshade/finfocus/finfocus-diagnose@sha256:c254b459b5b25e3d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.d1f9294, 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.
