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
# ECS Operation Review This skill performs a structured, evidence-based operational-excellence assessment of a **live** Amazon ECS estate — clusters, capacity providers, services, task definitions, and their supporting AWS resources — and produces a rated report (GREEN / AMBER / RED / UNKNOWN / N/A) with prioritized, cited recommendations. It is the **umbrella Day-2 audit** that walks the major domains of the Amazon ECS Best Practices Guide ([`ecs-best-practices.html`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/ecs-best-practices.html)). It is evaluative (it *grades* what exists), not generative — it does not design or build new environments, and it **defers to the deep ECS skills** for remediation depth rather than duplicating them (see "Defers to deep skills"). **This skill is for Amazon ECS only. Skip it for EKS / Kubernetes estates — use `eks-operation-review` instead.** ### Scope & limitations (known blind spots) This review is deliberately bounded. It does **not** currently assess, and should state as out-of-scope in the report: …

How to install
mdr add aws-samples/sample-apex-skills/ecs-operation-review@sha256:6a696b43cc4a5ca2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261108.ad08020, 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.
