Use when a diff carries side effects - database writes, migrations, file mutations, network calls, payments, queue messages - to check whether running it twice is safe. Also when reviewing retry logic, crash recovery, or anything a scheduler, queue, or impatient caller might re-run. Silent when the diff touches no side-effecting surface. Read-only review. Applying the fixes belongs to expedite.
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
# retry-safety Fire the same ticket twice and the kitchen must not charge the table twice. Timeouts, crashes, queue redeliveries, and impatient callers re-run operations constantly. The only question is whether the second run finishes the remainder or doubles the damage. **Core principle:** the standard is idempotent read-modify-write at the side-effecting edge. The operation reads current state before writing, so a re-run over work already done completes the remainder and changes nothing else. Anything short of that needs a named reason it is still safe. **Read-only.** This is a review lens. Fixing is a separate engagement: hand the finished report to [expedite](../expedite/SKILL.md), which works the backlog in leverage order. When the diff touches no side-effecting surface, say so in one line and stop. ## The sweep For each side-effecting edge in the diff, simulate two failure shapes: the whole operation retried after a timeout, and a crash halfway followed by a re-run. | Surface | The double-run hazard | |---------|----------------------| | Database writes | duplicate rows, double-applied increments, constraint violations on the second pass | …

How to install
mdr add escoffier-labs/skillet/retry-safety@sha256:1a1229667aa0ec8eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.3.0, 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.
