root-cause skillA

root-cause is agent-read markdown (skill) from sean-m-cooper/ai_tools: Systematically analyze bugs, failures, or unexpected behavior to identify root causes. Examines code, data, dependencies, and logs without proposing fixes, producing a structured analysis that surfaces assumptions, evidence, gaps, and the simplest path forward..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add sean-m-cooper/ai_tools/root-cause@git:20260407.7b9ec8a
Exact content
mdr add sean-m-cooper/ai_tools/root-cause@sha256:c12ca75056601cc6

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
