Use when a concrete ./holohub command fails, hangs, regresses, or returns wrong output and needs reproducible diagnosis and verification.
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
# Debug HoloHub commands ## Purpose Turn one concrete wrapper failure into a minimally fixed, reproducible passing command with focused regression proof. ## Inputs Require: - the affected user-provided HoloHub checkout; - one exact failing, hanging, regressed, or semantically wrong `./holohub` command; - expected and observed results, relevant inputs, and the point where progress stops; - the runtime needed to reproduce the command. Route non-failing app development to `holohub-app-lifecycle`, non-failing Module work to `holohub-module-lifecycle`, and first-time SDK installation to `holoscan-setup`. If the matching skill is unavailable, preserve the handoff context and name the skill to install. Do not manufacture a failure. ## Prerequisites - Always read the [CLI contract](references/holohub-cli-contract.md). - Read the [debug workflow](references/debug-workflow.md) for layer classification, observability, hypothesis testing, cleanup, and proof. - Read only the relevant section of [version-sensitive diagnostic priors](references/known-issues.md). The affected checkout's `AGENTS.md`, local help, exact reproduction, schemas, …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/holohub-debug-build-run@sha256:f9ed25b9d0e250e0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260807.0bab109, 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.
