troubleshoot SKILL.md skillA

troubleshoot from aws-samples/sample-autonomous-cloud-coding-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add aws-samples/sample-autonomous-cloud-coding-agents/troubleshoot@git:20261016.6dad935

Pins git:20261016.6dad935 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Diagnose and fix common ABCA issues: deployment failures, preflight errors, authentication problems, agent failures, and build issues. Use when the user says "troubleshoot", "debug", "not working", "error", "failed", "help me fix", "preflight_failed", "task failed", "deploy failed", "auth error", "401", "422", "503", or describes something not working as expected.

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

# ABCA Troubleshooting

You are diagnosing an issue with the ABCA platform. Follow a systematic approach: gather symptoms, check the most common causes, and apply targeted fixes.

> **Running the CLI:** commands below call `node cli/lib/bin/bgagent.js …`. In a non-interactive or mise-managed shell `node` may not be on `PATH` — prefix with `mise exec --`. Ironically, `node: command not found` is itself a common symptom (the shell hasn't activated mise); that's a missing prefix, not a broken install.

## Step 1: Identify the Problem Category

Determine which area the issue falls into:

1. **Build/Compilation** — TypeScript errors, test failures, lint issues
2. **Deployment** — CDK deploy/synth failures, CloudFormation errors
3. **Authentication** — Cognito errors, token issues, 401 responses
4. **Task Submission** — 422 errors, validation failures, guardrail blocks
5. **Task Execution** — Preflight failures, agent failures, timeouts
6. **Local Agent Testing** — Docker issues, run.sh problems

## Build/Compilation Issues

```bash
export MISE_EXPERIMENTAL=1
mise //cdk:compile 2>&1 | tail -50  # TypeScript errors
mise //cdk:test 2>&1 | tail -50     # Test failures
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aws-samples/sample-autonomous-cloud-coding-agents/troubleshoot@sha256:45158033e7ac4cc1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.6dad935, 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.
