Design, implement, review, or improve operational reliability through service objectives, failure isolation, graceful degradation, recovery, observability, and incident readiness. Use when availability, resilience, dependency failure, disaster recovery, or operability is a primary concern. Do not use for ordinary error handling, a single unexplained bug, or speculative distributed-systems machinery.

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

# Superior Reliability

Keep critical user outcomes dependable under expected failures and recoverable after exceptional ones. Base reliability work on explicit service objectives, real failure domains, and operational ownership rather than adding retries, circuit breakers, or redundancy by checklist.

## Define the reliability contract

Before proposing controls, establish:

- critical user journeys and the service or component boundaries that support them;
- acceptable availability, correctness, latency, freshness, and durability;
- traffic and workload shape, peak conditions, and dependency budgets;
- failure domains, shared dependencies, state ownership, and blast radius;
- SLI/SLO, error budget, RTO, RPO, retention, or contractual targets that actually exist;
- detection, response, escalation, recovery, and decision owners;
- evidence from incidents, telemetry, capacity tests, architecture, and runbooks.

Do not invent numerical objectives because a template expects them. When no objective is accepted, state a provisional risk question and gather evidence before designing a complex control.

## Choose work from risk and objective

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kodekateam/superior-skills/superior-reliability@sha256:0c0e2a64f733e9ff

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.08fe52b, 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.
