Install it, pinned
mdr add initializ/forge/k8s-incident-triage@git:20260304.ef09c7b

Pins git:20260304.ef09c7b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Read-only Kubernetes incident triage using kubectl. Accepts natural language or structured input. Produces root-cause hypotheses, evidence, and next-step commands.

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 Incident Triage

Performs read-only triage of Kubernetes workloads and namespaces using `kubectl`.

Supports:
- Natural language input (human mode)
- Structured JSON input (automation mode)

This skill NEVER mutates cluster state.

---

## Tool Usage

This skill uses `cli_execute` with `kubectl` commands exclusively.
NEVER use http_request or web_search to interact with Kubernetes.
All cluster operations MUST go through kubectl via the cli_execute tool.

---

## Tool: k8s_triage

Diagnose unhealthy Kubernetes workloads, pods, or namespaces.

**Output format:** Use markdown tables for pod/workload status summaries. Wrap kubectl output and log excerpts in ```text code blocks. Use ```bash for recommended next-step commands.

---

## Input Modes

### 1) Human Mode (Natural Language)

Input is a plain string.

Examples:

- `triage payments-prod`
- `triage deployment payments-api in payments-prod`
- `why are pods pending in checkout-prod?`
- `investigate crashloop in payments-prod`
- `triage pod api-7c9f6d7f86-abcde in payments-prod`
- `check rollout of deployment payments-api in prod`

Behavior:

- Parse namespace, workload, pod, or selector intent.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add initializ/forge/k8s-incident-triage@sha256:bcd28d2708bceeeb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260304.ef09c7b, 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.
