failure-triage skillA

failure-triage is agent-read markdown (skill) from yeaight7/agent-powerups: Use when confronted with an unknown failure in CI or production, before committing to a deep debugging approach..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

## Purpose

Before diving deep into a stack trace or spending hours reproducing a bug, triage it to determine the blast radius, subsystem, and debugging approach. Do not start writing fixes until you have explicitly stated your triage hypothesis and confirmed the category.

## When to Use

- A CI job or production system is failing and the cause is unknown
- A bug report arrives without a clear owner or subsystem
- Before choosing between deep debugging, bisecting, or reproduction work

## Inputs

- The failure signal: stack trace, CI log excerpt, or error report
- The repo, for recent-change inspection

## Workflow

1. **Categorize the failure:**
   - **Syntax/Build error** — fails before running
   - **Logic error** — runs, but produces wrong output
   - **Infrastructure/Environment error** — network timeout, missing DB table
   - **Flaky/Non-deterministic error** — fails sometimes

2. **Locate the origin.** Scan the stack trace. Ignore framework/library internals. Find the highest frame that belongs to the *first-party application code*:

   ```bash
   # surface first-party frames (adjust the path filter to the repo layout)
   grep -n "src/" stacktrace.txt | head -20
   ```
…

How to install

Latest version
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/failure-triage@git:20260606.08e9c42
Exact content
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/failure-triage@sha256:93e284c240f87567

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
