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
# windows-ops ## Helps with Slow or worsening boot, silently failing drives, crashes with no obvious cause, an HKLM startup entry you can't disable without admin, BSODs that leave no dump, unexplained UAC prompts, 'is it safe to unplug this drive?', cloning a failing drive, no-boot recovery, remote diagnostics, and a hot or out-of-commit machine with no boot-time explanation. Where each signal lives: [references/symptom-guide.md](references/symptom-guide.md). ## The Universal Insight **Windows tells you what's wrong if you ask the right log in the right way.** Most users (and most tutorials) reach for Task Manager. The actual diagnostic signal lives in the Event Log, the Registry's StartupApproved key, the storage driver's reset events, and the kernel's bugcheck records. This skill packages the queries that turn noise into a verdict. The most common diagnostic failure: treating symptoms in isolation. "Slow boot" → disable startup apps. "BSOD" → reinstall drivers. "Random crashes" → memtest. These are reasonable last resorts, but the data to identify the *actual* cause is sitting in the System log untouched. Always audit before treating. ## The Diagnostic Ladder …

How to install
mdr add 0xdarkmatter/claude-mods/windows-ops@sha256:deb61a9d8b1f0721The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.c017dbc, 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.
