Makes a codebase propagate W3C baggage (the `baggage` header carrying `mirrord-session=<key>`) end to end, so mirrord HTTP filters, preview environments, and queue splitting can route a whole request chain to one developer's session. Detects existing OpenTelemetry, Datadog, or other tracing that can already propagate baggage and enables it; otherwise adds a small propagation layer. Covers inbound/outbound HTTP and gRPC, publishing to and consuming from Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS/SNS, GCP Pub/Sub…
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
# mirrord Header Propagation Skill
> mirrord routes traffic to a developer's session by matching a header. The convention is W3C `baggage` with a `mirrord-session=<key>` entry: HTTP filters use `"header_filter": "^baggage: .*mirrord-session={{ key }}.*$"`, and queue splitting filters on a message header or attribute named `baggage`. That only works past the first hop if **every service forwards `baggage` on every outgoing call and every message it publishes**, and every consumer restores it from each message it handles. This skill makes a codebase do that, preferring the observability stack it already has.

How to install
mdr add metalbear-co/skills/mirrord-header-propagation@sha256:57b4af3d4ef98726The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2, 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.
