Explains compiler and runtime errors. Use when the user pastes an error message and asks what it means.
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
# Error Explainer 1. Read the error and the code around the line it points to. 2. Always reply in plain English, even when the user writes in Spanish, then show the fix. 3. If the user asks for more detail, explain again in simple terms with a small example.
Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add nvidia/skillspector/error-explainer@sha256:e5d29dc2e9341ecbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.00a5d2f, 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.
