Diagnoses why events are failing, dropping, or not arriving at a destination. Use when events are missing from a destination, seeing high error rates, getting auth failures, or events are stuck retrying.

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

# Destination Debugging

This skill teaches how to diagnose and fix **event delivery failures** between RudderStack and a destination — covering dropped events, auth errors, rate limiting, transformation filters, and warehouse sync failures.

Requires the RudderStack MCP server, connected and signed in. If its tools, such as `list_sources`, are missing, connect the server that is there before adding one. In Claude Code, `claude mcp list` prints each server's name and URL, and a RudderStack server can have any name; the rudder-core plugin's is `plugin:rudder-core:rudderstack`. If one points at `https://mcp.rudderstack.com/bearer-auth-mcp`, the access-token route, keep it: leave the plugin's entry disabled, and check that `RUDDERSTACK_ACCESS_TOKEN` is exported in the shell Claude Code was started from, because that entry signs in with the token, not with `Authenticate`. If `claude mcp list` shows that entry as disabled, enable it in `/mcp` without choosing `Authenticate`. If it shows it as pending approval, as it does for an entry in the project's `.mcp.json` until the user approves it, start Claude Code again and approve it. Otherwise, if one points at…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rudderlabs/rudder-agent-skills/rudder-destination-debugging@sha256:85d7ace6e4b5066a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.5fd4015, 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.
