Diagnose and relieve an overloaded macOS workstation: high load average, memory pressure and swap, CPU-hungry helper processes, idle agent sessions and dev containers, file indexers and system scans, plus slow new-terminal / zsh startup. Read-only snapshot first, actions ranked by expected gain, explicit confirmation before stopping anything, then a before/after re-check. Activates when the user says 'it is so busy now', 'check the current resources', 'my mac is slow', 'what is eating CPU'…
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
# Mac Resource Triage > Snapshot, attribute by app, rank actions by gain, confirm, act, re-snapshot. Never kill on a hunch. ## What this skill is - and isn't | Situation | Owner | |---|---| | Mac slow, fans loud, load / memory / swap high, new terminal slow to open | this skill | | Disk full, reclaim space | `computer-clean` | | Slow web page, Core Web Vitals | `web-perf` | | One app or service erroring or crashing | `debug`, then `fix` | ## Hard rules 1. **Read-only until the user approves a named action list.** Each item names exact targets (PIDs, compose projects, settings keys) and its undo. The user owns these processes; stopping the wrong container or session destroys in-flight work. 2. **Judge by CPU idle, sys %, and memory pressure, not the load number.** macOS load average counts runnable threads only (no disk wait), so fifty queued browser renderers read as "load 400" while each uses little CPU. It is also a 1/5/15-minute moving average that lags every action, so a fix that worked still shows high load for minutes. …

How to install
mdr add vanducng/skills/mac-resource-triage@sha256:aeb98e9974f67bb8The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
