Systematic diagnosis for unknown failures — local environment, tool setup, CI vs local divergence, hook misbehavior, and runtime anomalies. Gathers signals broadly, ranks hypotheses, uses adversarial review (Codex or foundry:challenger) for ambiguous cases, probes each, and reports root cause with a recommended next action. NOT for known code bugs (/develop:debug (requires `develop` plugin)) or config quality (/foundry:audit). TRIGGER when: unknown failure with no Python traceback — hook not…
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
<objective> Diagnose unknown failures: broken local setup, environment mismatch, tool misbehavior, hook problems, CI vs local divergence, permission errors, runtime anomalies. Gather signals broadly, eliminate hypotheses systematically, report confirmed root cause + recommended next skill. No fixes — diagnosis only. NOT for: known Python test failures with traceback (use `/develop:debug` (requires `develop` plugin)); `.claude/` config quality sweep (use `/foundry:audit`). </objective> <inputs> - **$ARGUMENTS**: required — symptom, question, or failing command, e.g.: - `"hooks not firing on Save"` - `"bridge review is unavailable on this machine"` - `"/calibrate times out every run"` - `"CI fails but passes locally"` - `"uv run pytest can't find conftest.py"` - **`--fast`**: optional flag — skip Step 4 adversarial Codex review; use when speed matters more than thoroughness, or Codex unavailable. $ARGUMENTS empty or too vague: use AskUserQuestion: "What exactly is failing or behaving unexpectedly? Include the command and any error output you can share." </inputs> <compaction> …

How to install
mdr add borda/ai-rig/investigate@sha256:ff6ac13f888d19d5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.253fdb3, 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.
