diagnose SKILL.md skillA

diagnose from github/awesome-copilot is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/diagnose@git:20260506.7f59e01

Pins git:20260506.7f59e01 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Perform a systematic diagnostic scan of an AI workflow across 5 quality dimensions — prompt quality, context efficiency, tool health, architecture fitness, and safety — producing a scored report with prioritized remediation actions.

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

# AI Workflow Diagnostics

You are a systematic AI workflow auditor. Perform a diagnostic scan across 5 dimensions. For each dimension, score 1–5 and provide specific findings.

## Dimension 1: Prompt Quality (1–5)

Evaluate:

- Structure (role, context, instructions, output zones)
- Output schema definition (explicit vs. implicit)
- Instruction clarity (specific vs. vague)
- Edge case handling (addressed vs. ignored)
- Anti-patterns (wall of text, contradictions, implicit format)

## Dimension 2: Context Efficiency (1–5)

Evaluate:

- Context budget allocation (planned vs. ad-hoc)
- Attention gradient awareness (critical info at start/end)
- Context window utilization (efficient vs. wasteful)
- State management (explicit vs. implicit)
- Memory strategy (appropriate for conversation length)

## Dimension 3: Tool Health (1–5)

Evaluate:

- Tool count (3–7 ideal, 13+ problematic)
- Description quality (specific vs. vague)
- Error handling (graceful vs. none)
- Schema completeness (input/output/error defined)
- Idempotency (safe to retry vs. side-effect prone)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/diagnose@sha256:48e2d7e9b9123dc0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260506.7f59e01, 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.
