Use only when the user asks why an agent run went wrong and wants evidence from the transcripts - "why did that take so long", "why was it so expensive", "it ignored the plan", "it kept redoing X", "that skill never fired", "what was it doing". Runs only when the user asks. Not for debugging product code (use refire).
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
# diagnose-session When a dish goes wrong, the chef pulls the ticket and the line log and reconstructs what actually happened before blaming anyone. This skill does that for an agent run: it reads the transcripts and reports what happened, with a citation for every claim. **Core principle:** every finding cites `path:line`; every number comes from the transcript or a command you ran, never from memory. No citation, no finding. Unlike a pure reporting tool, this skill may diagnose skillet skills themselves. Keep the evidence and the interpretation separate: first what the transcript shows, then, labelled as diagnosis, what that suggests about the skill or the setup. ## Procedure Make a todo per step. 1. **Intake before analysis.** Ask one question at a time until you can write a problem statement: the session(s), the turn range if known, what the user expected, what happened, and the observable they care about (wall-clock, tokens, repeated actions, one specific action). "It took too long" is a complaint, not a statement. Nothing below starts until the user has answered. If they are away, write the questions and stop; do not reconstruct a statement for them. A request that… …

How to install
mdr add escoffier-labs/skillet/diagnose-session@sha256:4e8851f94904fe2dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
