Turn a vague, intermittent, or environment-specific bug report into a minimal evidence-backed reproduction before proposing a fix.
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
# Bug Reproduction Brief Use this skill when a bug report is incomplete, intermittent, environment-specific, or mixed with an assumed cause. The goal is to prove the smallest observable failure before diagnosis or repair begins. ## 1. Record the observed failure Capture the exact error, incorrect output, timestamp, affected route or command, and the smallest known input. Preserve relevant logs without secrets or personal data. Label second-hand descriptions as unverified. ## 2. Identify the environment Record only facts you can inspect: - repository and commit; - runtime and package-manager versions; - operating system or container; - dependency lockfile; - relevant feature flags; - whether the target is local, test, staging, or production. Never guess credentials or production configuration. ## 3. Separate expected from actual behaviour Write two explicit observable statements: ```text Expected: [observable result] Actual: [observable result, including status or error] ``` Do not put the suspected cause in either statement. ## 4. Reduce the reproduction …

How to install
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/bug-reproduction-brief@sha256:522ad2948c498f6dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260730.596e38b, 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.
