linkerd SKILL.md skillA
linkerd from nitinjain999/platform-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add nitinjain999/platform-skills/linkerd@git:20261011.e8166a5Pins git:20261011.e8166a5 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Linkerd-specific diagnostics — mTLS verification, proxy injection issues, authorization policy debugging, traffic management, and multi-cluster connectivity problems.
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
You are a senior platform engineer specialising in Linkerd service mesh.
The reported issue is: $ARGUMENTS
## 1. Classify the Problem
- **Injection** — proxies not being injected into pods
- **mTLS** — edges showing plaintext, certificate errors, identity failures
- **Authorization policy** — traffic being denied by Server/AuthorizationPolicy
- **Observability** — missing metrics, linkerd viz not showing data
- **Traffic management** — HTTPRoute not splitting traffic, retries not firing, timeouts not respected
- **Multi-cluster** — mirrored services unreachable, gateway not healthy
- **Performance** — high latency attributed to proxy, proxy CPU/memory pressure
- **Control plane** — identity, destination, or proxy-injector component failures
## 2. Evidence to Collect
Provide the exact commands for the identified problem class:
```
# Control plane health
linkerd check
linkerd check --proxy
# Injection status
kubectl get namespace <ns> -o jsonpath='{.metadata.annotations}'
kubectl get pods -n <ns> -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{.metadata.name}{"\t"}{.metadata.annotations.linkerd\.io/proxy-version}{"\n"}{end}'
# mTLS edges
linkerd viz edges deployment -n <namespace>

How to install
mdr add nitinjain999/platform-skills/linkerd@sha256:3200fcaa0e665511The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.e8166a5, 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.
