Investigates a bug or unexpected behavior from reproduction to root cause with a panel of independent hypothesis agents, then fixes it only when the request asks for a fix. Use when invoked explicitly to debug, diagnose, or fix a reported failure.
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
# investigate Investigate the reported behavior from reproduction to root cause. Fix it only when the request authorizes a change. The task is the text given with this invocation. --- ## Authorization Infer the terminal condition from the request: - diagnose, explain, audit, or identify cause: investigate and report; do not edit; - investigate and fix, debug this, resolve, or equivalent change intent: diagnose first, then implement and verify the smallest root-cause fix; - ambiguity that would materially change behavior: finish the diagnosis, recommend a fix, and ask one focused question before editing. Read applicable repository instructions and preserve staged, unstaged, untracked, and concurrent user work. ## Reproduce before fixing 1. State the observed behavior, expected behavior, environment, and trigger. 2. Reproduce with the smallest reliable case. Capture exact logs, state transitions, inputs, outputs, and relevant versions without exposing secrets or sensitive data. 3. If reproduction is impossible, identify the missing condition and use the strongest available trace or static evidence. Do not present speculation as a root cause. ## Adaptive hypothesis panel …

How to install
mdr add geiserx/agent-skills/investigate@sha256:061dc175b5f5a719The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.bdaf144, 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.
