Use when something is wrong in a cluster and it is not yet clear where: "the cluster is broken", "a lot of pods are failing", "users say the app is down", "something is off after the upgrade", or any problem report that names no workload. Sweeps nodes, pods in every namespace, recent Warning events and CPU and memory use, ranks what it finds by severity, proposes a first fix for each issue and names the skill that goes deeper. Reads first and asks before changing anything.
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
# Kubernetes triage Find out where a cluster is unhealthy when nobody knows yet, rank the problems, and hand each one to the right place. **Read first, ask before changing.** Run the investigation commands freely. Run a command under an "Ask first" line only after the user approves that exact command; if your credentials do not allow it, give it to the user to run. Never run a "Proposed fix"; hand it to the user. Triage is a first look, not a root-cause analysis. For each problem, report it, show the evidence, propose a first fix, and name the skill that investigates it fully. Do not dig deeper than the short first look this skill describes. The commands use placeholders: `my-namespace`, `my-app`, `my-pod` and `my-node`. Replace them with the real names. Never read Secrets. If output contains passwords, tokens or keys, do not repeat them. ## When to use - The user reports a problem without naming a workload: "the cluster is broken", "everything is slow", "lots of pods are failing", "users say the app is down". - Something changed cluster-wide (an upgrade, a new node pool, a network change) and "something is off". - You were asked for a general health check of a cluster. …

How to install
mdr add k8s-servant/k8s-skills/k8s-triage@sha256:9358cf1bb64e143eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.122bc9d, 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.
