Answers questions about a past agent run from its recording rather than from memory, and replays or forks that run. Use when asked why an earlier run did something, or to reproduce a failure.
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
# OrcaReplay Run Reader Coding agents are confidently wrong about their own history. A summary written from memory is missing the tool results, the exit codes, and the files that changed without anyone mentioning them. This skill enforces one rule: **when a question is about something that already happened, read the trace before answering.** Do not reconstruct it. If a recording exists, guessing is the wrong move even when the guess would have been right. ## When to Use This Skill - "Why did you delete / overwrite / move X?" - "What changed this file?" or "Which step broke the build?" - "Can you reproduce yesterday's failure?" - "Would a different model have got this right?" ## What This Skill Does 1. **Finds the run** — `orca_list_runs`, newest first, naming the run each fork came from. 2. **Narrows to the cause** — `orca_graph` with `to: <event seq>` returns only the chain that produced one event. That is the shape of an answer to *why*; the full timeline (`orca_show_run`) is the shape of an answer to *what*. 3. **Separates evidence from inference** — every edge is labelled `recorded` (the recorder watched …

How to install
mdr add davepoon/buildwithclaude/orca-replay@sha256:a92b194acc6ac875The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.d1cc3fd, 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.
