Systematic, safety-first diagnosis of developer network failures such as connection refused, DNS resolution errors, TLS certificate problems, proxy failures, and package registry timeouts. Use when a command fails with a network-shaped error (curl, npm, pip, git, docker), when a service is unreachable, or when the user asks to debug connectivity, DNS, TLS, or proxy issues.
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
# Network Troubleshooting This skill provides a concise, safety-first decision guide for diagnosing developer network failures. Diagnostics must stay read-only and target-scoped — this is not an automated remediation toolkit. ## Safety Boundaries These boundaries apply to every step of the workflow below and must never be relaxed, even if asked: - Prefer read-only diagnostics and trusted project-provided diagnostic scripts. - Use the failing host, URL, registry, or service as the default probe target — do not probe unrelated hosts. - Ask before probing unrelated external services. - Never print proxy URLs, credentials, tokens, auth headers, package index URLs, registry hostnames from config, or raw config values in shared output. - Internal hosts and URLs may be collected for target-scoped local diagnostics, but replace them with placeholders before sharing logs or reports unless the user explicitly approves including them. - Never dump local configuration from npm, pnpm, yarn, pip, Git, Docker, shell, OS proxy, VPN, or certificate stores. …

How to install
mdr add mindrally/skills/network-troubleshooting@sha256:212b37bdd4f6db92The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.7682ca7, 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.
