ppa-recover SKILL.md skillA

ppa-recover from vibeic/vibe-ic is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add vibeic/vibe-ic/ppa-recover@git:20261105.13b7a3f

Pins git:20261105.13b7a3f in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Propose a bounded way out when a PPA closure loop has stalled, oscillated, regressed or crashed — naming the rollback point, the blast radius, and the condition under which recovery stops rather than looping. Use when the user says "the loop is stuck", "PnR keeps getting worse", "we regressed", "roll this back", "recover the run", or when a closure controller has exhausted its budget without converging.

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

# PPA Recover

## The boundary this skill lives inside

This skill produces a **structured recovery proposal**. It never produces a gate
verdict and it never performs the recovery. The controller that actuates is
`_ppa/closure.py` per `docs/PPA_INTERFACES.md` §4; this document is what it reads
before deciding whether to act.

The distinction matters most exactly here, because a stalled loop is the moment
at which the temptation to "just fix it" is strongest and the evidence is
weakest. A recovery that is proposed, bounded and reversible can be refused. A
recovery that is performed and then described cannot.

## When to use

Trigger when the user:
- Has a closure loop that stopped improving, or started getting worse
- Has a run that crashed part-way and needs to know what state it is in
- Has exhausted an iteration budget without meeting the target
- Suspects the loop is oscillating between two configurations

## Inputs to gather

1. The loop history: per round, the actuator moved and the metric that resulted
2. The run manifest for each round, so a rollback point can be named by hash
3. The failure mode as observed, not as interpreted — stall, oscillation,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vibeic/vibe-ic/ppa-recover@sha256:69bbee1a1c6f020f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.13b7a3f, 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.
