Own the configured observability backend, in two sections invoked by name. Check: display the configured stack and the instance the runs will hit, prove the CLI connected, guide the user when it is not, and hand the preflight over to the mission. Switch: verify the target backend's CLI is installed (offer a guided install when missing), persist the switch via odd_config_set, persist the per-stack stack_config values the missions will need, then run Check for the proof. Stack-agnostic - the…
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
# The Backend Configuration The user configures their observability CLI themselves; agents never run interactive auth (OAuth device codes and SSO browser logins stall subagents — observed). This skill resolves the configured stack, shows which instance the runs will hit, proves the CLI is connected, and guides the user when it is not (`## Check`); and it owns the write — the switch to another backend, the deployment environment the missions target, and the targeting values persisted for it — per environment when one is named or configured (`## Switch`). A switch is a write, and a write deserves a preflight: a stack persisted for a CLI that is not on the machine turns every later mission into the same discovery, so the switch checks the binary first, writes second, and ends in `## Check`'s proof. Three lines this skill never crosses: it never installs anything silently (it offers, the user runs or approves), it never authenticates on the user's behalf, and it never stores or echoes a secret — credentials stay in the CLI's own auth store and are referred to by name only. This skill knows no stack by name. Everything about a stack — its CLI, …

How to install
mdr add using-system/oddyssey/backend-configuration@sha256:21975519fbc0b49eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.0ccec67, 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.
