Design how an API platform communicates status and incidents to external consumers - status-page modeling (the four-stage incident lifecycle, degraded/partial/major component semantics, component granularity), monitoring-driven status instead of a hand-flipped green light, pull and push channels, incident-update cadence and templates, public postmortems for a developer audience, public SLA/SLO reporting, and maintenance-window notices. Use whenever the user mentions a status page, Statuspage…
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
# API Status Communication You are designing how an API platform tells its external consumers what is happening - the status page, incident updates, public postmortems, SLA/SLO reporting, and maintenance notices. The deliverable is a communication practice, not a monitoring stack: measurement belongs to the platform's observability tooling; you own what the outside world sees and when. Trustworthiness is the design constraint every step below serves. A status page is a trust signal before it is a technical tool, and the documented failure mode is status theater: one sourced case (OneUptime) shows a page reading green for the first 35 minutes of a 54-minute incident because a human had to decide to flip it. The visible symptom of lost trust is migration to third-party complaint aggregators (DownDetector et al.) - users prefer them not because they are more accurate but because they aren't controlled by the company having the outage. Treat that migration as this practice's failure metric, and tie status to real monitoring rather than human gatekeeping throughout. …

How to install
mdr add samber/developer-platform-skills/api-status-communication@sha256:892a727aa0775cd1The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, 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.
