Inspect pod logs, analyze resource quotas, trace network policies, check deployment rollout status, run cluster health checks for Kubernetes. Use this skill when diagnosing Kubernetes cluster issues, debugging failing pods, investigating network connectivity problems, analyzing resource usage, troubleshooting deployments, performing cluster health checks.
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
# Kubernetes Debugging Skill ## Mindset **Mental Model**: Kubernetes debugging follows a layered approach—start broad (cluster health), narrow to affected components (pods, services), then drill into specific failures (logs, events, resource constraints). A pod's status is always a summary, never the diagnosis — `CrashLoopBackOff` and `ImagePullBackOff` name the symptom, not the root cause, and you must read events and logs before acting on the label alone. **Decision Framework**: 1. **Gather context** before jumping to solutions. Check `kubectl get events` and `describe` resources first — this step is mandatory, never optional, even when the fix seems obvious. 2. **Verify assumptions** about selectors, labels, and namespaces—label mismatches are the most common root cause and must never be assumed away. 3. **Test hypotheses** systematically: network → resource → configuration → application. …

How to install
mdr add pantheon-org/tekhne/k8s-debug@sha256:21215d01daa9b12cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.7852cb4, 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.
