Classify operational findings before action: Watch, Fix Candidate, Active Incident, Resolved, Handoff, Known Accepted Issue, False Positive, or Self-Resolved. Use when an infra/app/alert finding is not simply "fix" or "done", especially when recovered-but-recurring signals, Running-but-unhealthy workloads, ownership handoffs, or accepted known issues need explicit evidence and closure criteria. Read-only guidance; maps state to required evidence, allowed/prohibited actions, approval gates…

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

# Operational State

**Habits**: H1 (Be Proactive) + H5 (Seek First to Understand) + H8 (Find Your Voice) | **Anti-pattern**: treating every operational signal as either "fix now" or "close"

## When to Use

- An alert, daily-fix item, health check, or ops finding needs classification before action.
- The system is currently healthy but the signal recurs or could become noisy.
- A pod/service says Running, but a mount path, dependency, endpoint, or user-visible check is unhealthy.
- Ownership is unclear and the next step may be AppDev, Registry, vendor, or another team handoff.
- A known issue should stay visible without counting as an active incident.
- You need to distinguish report hygiene from a cluster/service mutation.

Use this before `/deploy-guide` for operational mutations, before `/post-mortem` for fixed incidents, and before `/management-talk` when leadership needs state wording.

## When to Skip

- The finding already has a validated root cause, approved fix, rollback plan, and current impact; go to `/deploy-guide` or `/post-mortem`.
- The work is only a wording/status update with no operational ambiguity.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pitimon/8-habit-ai-dev/operational-state@sha256:cc4fe9ffb60ceb96

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.5d5e0e3, 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.
