Bring past diagnoses to a bug before fixing it, record the new root-cause hypothesis, and close it as confirmed or refuted once the fix is verified. Use when a bug could come from more than one layer, or looks like something seen before.
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
# Investigate Cartographer's part of bug work is memory: what was diagnosed before, which hypotheses turned out wrong, and what finally fixed it. How to debug is left to you. This skill adds three steps around your own diagnosis. Resolve `ROOT` from `CARTOGRAPHER_ROOT`, `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT`, or `PLUGIN_ROOT`; otherwise use this skill's base directory (`../..` from `skills/investigate`). ## 1. Recall before diagnosing Search for the symptom and for the files or components involved: ```bash bash "$ROOT/scripts/cartographer-search.sh" "Investigated <symptom words>" --limit 10 bash "$ROOT/scripts/cartographer-search.sh" "<file or component name>" --limit 10 ``` For each earlier `investigation` result, search its event id to find how it ended. An `investigation_outcome` event names it in its summary: ```bash bash "$ROOT/scripts/cartographer-search.sh" "evt-abc123def456" --limit 5 ``` Use `--get <ids>` for the full records. Report what bears on this bug, most of all hypotheses that were **refuted** for a similar symptom, and a confirmed cause that could be recurring. An investigation with no outcome is an open …

How to install
mdr add andyed/session-cartographer/investigate@sha256:01b06229ed425febThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.767e202, 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.
