Knowledge base from MIL-HDBK-338B (Electronic Reliability Design Handbook). Use for electronic reliability engineering: R/M/A theory, reliability specification/allocation/prediction, parts management and derating, reliable circuit and fault-tolerant design, environmental and human performance reliability, FMEA/FMECA/FTA/sneak circuit analysis, design reviews and testability, FRACAS, reliability demonstration and growth testing, and systems-level R&M parameters. Covers selected Part 2…

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

<!-- argument-hint: [reliability topic, MTBF/MTTR, derating, FMEA/FTA, growth test, testability, or chapter number] -->

# MIL-HDBK-338B — Electronic Reliability Design
**Source**: DoD MIL-HDBK-338B (US Government work, public domain; Distribution Statement A) | **Chapters**: 9

## When to use
Reach for this pack when designing or reviewing electronic/hardware reliability programs grounded in MIL-HDBK-338B — especially reliability requirements and allocation, parts derating, prediction caveats, FMEA/FTA, testability, FRACAS, and reliability growth/demonstration strategy. Use it to brief design teams on inherent reliability levers and to structure analytical and test feedback loops.

**Prerequisites:** none — plain Markdown; no MCP server, API key, or licence tier needed at runtime.

## How to Use This Skill
- **Without arguments** — load the core frameworks below.
- **With a topic** — ask about MTBF/availability, allocation/prediction, derating, fault tolerance, FMEA/FTA, growth testing, FRACAS, or testability.
- **With a chapter** — ask for `ch01` through `ch09`.

Supporting files: `glossary.md`, `patterns.md`, `cheatsheet.md`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jgsystemsconsulting/jgs-se-knowledge-packs/mil-hdbk-338@sha256:0c11032c42703b7c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260815.4dfba84, 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.
