setup-local-stack SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

setup-local-stack from using-system/oddyssey is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Configure gcx against the local oddyssey Grafana stack and query its four signals (metrics, traces, logs, profiles) without touching the user's own gcx contexts. Owns the global configuration's "local" stack value. Use when the configured stack is "local", when querying the local stack (Grafana host port from the global configuration, default 3000), when configuring gcx locally, when a command needs the Tempo, Prometheus, Loki, or Pyroscope datasource UID. gcx is the mandatory query CLI for…

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

# gcx on the local oddyssey stack

One otel-lgtm container: Grafana, OTLP (gRPC and HTTP), Pyroscope's
ingest port, and four datasources behind the Grafana datasource proxy.
Bring it up with the oddyssey MCP tools (`odd_stack_status`,
`odd_stack_up`) before configuring anything here.

## Configure an isolated context

```bash
python3 <this skill's directory>/scripts/gcx_local.py
```

It takes no arguments but `--json`. It reads the host ports from the
global configuration — never assumed, never hardcoded — writes an **isolated** context at a stable path so the
user's own gcx contexts stay untouched, and proves it with `gcx config
check`. It prints the `export GCX_CONFIG=...` line to put in front of
every later gcx call, the four datasource UIDs, and the OTLP and
Pyroscope endpoints an instrumented service should target. `--json` for
the same, parseable.

Exit 0 means gcx reached the stack. Exit 1 says which step failed: gcx
missing (install it — `brew install gcx`, or the official script from
github.com/grafana/gcx), or the stack unreachable (`odd_stack_up`).

Re-run it after any port change. It rewrites the file whole on purpose:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add using-system/oddyssey/setup-local-stack@sha256:d0d1e0f4a95fec42

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.a0222b0, 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.
