Use when Gateway API objects in Kubernetes do not route, whatever the implementation: a GatewayClass stuck "Waiting for controller" or not Accepted, a Gateway with no address or PROGRAMMED Unknown or False ("ListenersNotValid", "AddressNotAssigned"), a listener that is not Programmed ("InvalidCertificateRef", "ProtocolConflict", "InvalidRouteKinds", "RefNotPermitted"), an HTTPRoute, GRPCRoute or TLSRoute that is not Accepted ("NoMatchingParent", "NotAllowedByListeners…
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
# Gateway API troubleshooting Find out why a Gateway API object does not route, from the objects' status, and propose a fix. **Read first, ask before changing.** Run the investigation commands freely. Run a command under an "Ask first" line only after the user approves that exact command; if your credentials do not allow it, give it to the user to run. Never run a "Proposed fix"; hand it to the user. Gateway API splits routing across roles, and each object reports what its controller made of it in `status.conditions`: - A **GatewayClass** (cluster-scoped) names a `controllerName`. The implementation whose controller claims that name accepts the class. - A **Gateway** uses a class and has **listeners** (name, port, protocol, optional hostname, TLS, `allowedRoutes`). A **ListenerSet** adds listeners to a Gateway from another object, if the Gateway's `allowedListeners` admits it. - **Routes** (HTTPRoute, GRPCRoute, TLSRoute, TCPRoute, UDPRoute) attach to a Gateway or one listener through `parentRefs`, and send traffic to `backendRefs`. A route reports its status per parent, under `status.parents`. …

How to install
mdr add k8s-servant/k8s-skills/k8s-gateway-api-troubleshooting@sha256:5bf96d46938ee136The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.7e95e4f, 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.
