connectivity-triage SKILL.md skillA
connectivity-triage from wshobson/agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add wshobson/agents/connectivity-triage@git:20260928.7201f42Pins git:20260928.7201f42 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use this skill when debugging active macOS connectivity failures, when an API or MCP service times out or disconnects, when DNS resolution is failing or inconsistent, or when video calls or other interactive traffic show packet loss or latency. Isolate local-LAN, DNS, upstream-path, and remote-service/application fault domains with built-in, non-destructive tools.
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
# Connectivity Triage Localize an active connectivity failure without changing network configuration. Collect the smallest useful evidence set, distinguish observations from inference, and stop when the fault domain is clear enough for the next safe action. ## When to Use This Skill Use this workflow when a macOS endpoint has an active symptom such as: - an API, website, or MCP service timing out or disconnecting; - DNS lookup failures or inconsistent name resolution; - packet loss, latency, or unstable interactive traffic; - an application that appears offline while other traffic works; - uncertainty about whether the problem is local, upstream, or at the service. This is a diagnostic workflow, not a remediation workflow. Do not change interface state, DNS settings, VPN/firewall configuration, or remote service state while establishing the fault domain. ## Fast Decision Flow Work from the symptom toward the narrowest discriminating check: ```text symptom -> local link / LAN evidence -> DNS configuration and resolution -> destination reachability -> path quality -> application / service timing -> fault-domain assessment ``` …

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/connectivity-triage@sha256:08cd3ebe37f8ea4dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.7201f42, 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.
