debug-failed-run SKILL.md skillA

debug-failed-run from nebius/nebius-physical-ai is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add nebius/nebius-physical-ai/debug-failed-run@git:20261002.bccd515

Pins git:20261002.bccd515 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when a workflow run failed, hung, or produced no artifacts — an ordered triage from run id to root cause across status, stage logs, S3 evidence, pod-level reasons, and the resume-vs-cancel decision.

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

# Debug a failed workflow run

Start from the run id and work outward. Every step below is read-only until the
final decision, so none of it costs GPU time or destroys the evidence you need.

## 0. Find the run id

```bash
npa workbench workflow list --project <alias> --limit 50 --json
```

Runs are durable S3 objects, so this works after the controller, the cluster, or
your shell is gone. If you only have an S3 prefix, every command below accepts an
`s3://` run prefix wherever it accepts a run id.

## 1. Status first — it names the failure class

```bash
npa workbench workflow status <run-id> --project <alias> --json
```

This is the single most informative command, because **for a PENDING job it
reports the pod-level reason** rather than just "pending". That distinction is
the whole triage:

- `PENDING` + `ImagePullBackOff` → registry problem, go to step 4. The job will
  never fail on its own; Kubernetes retries pulls forever.
- `PENDING` + `Unschedulable` → capacity or accelerator-name problem, step 5.
- `FAILED` → the payload ran and exited non-zero, step 3.
- `FAILED_STARTUP` → the controller itself failed identically several times
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nebius/nebius-physical-ai/debug-failed-run@sha256:3403ed298a7fba6c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.bccd515, 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.
