Debug a Pulumi update or preview that failed: read the failure Pulumi already recorded, find what caused it, and fix it. Load this skill when the user asks to debug, diagnose, or fix a failed update or preview, or points at a failing `pulumi up` or `pulumi preview`. Don't load it for authoring new infrastructure, migrations, or provider upgrades; those have their own skills.
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 Pulumi operation
A Pulumi operation has failed. Find what caused it and fix it. The user usually
points you at it, so start by working out which operation to debug, and confirm it
with the user before doing anything else. Pulumi recorded the error when the
operation failed, so once you know which operation it is you can read the error from
that record without running anything again.
The commands below reach Pulumi Cloud with `pulumi api`, a subcommand of the Pulumi
CLI that you run in your shell. Each one targets a stack by the explicit
`{orgName}/{projectName}/{stackName}` path you pass it, so you do not need that
stack selected locally to read its record. Selecting the stack matters later, when
you go to apply a fix.
## Start from the operation the user gave you
The user usually supplies the operation as a set of fields: the org, project, stack,
and update version (or preview id) — most often stated in prose, for example "debug
update 161 of vvm-dev". You need these to address the API: `{orgName}`,
`{projectName}`, `{stackName}`, and the version or preview id.
Fill any missing field from context. Take the org, project, or stack from the

How to install
mdr add pulumi/agent-skills/pulumi-debug-failed-operation@sha256:7a83abe3d985041eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, 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.
