Debug and root-cause live Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) incidents with a read-only, evidence-first investigation and structured report. WHEN: pod crashes or Pending, CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, ImagePullBackOff, node NotReady, DNS failure, ingress 502/503, connectivity timeout, network policy, SNAT exhaustion, upgrade stuck, cordon/drain failure, spot or zone disruption, expired certificate, or 'investigate my AKS cluster'.

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
# AKS Troubleshooting Root-cause live AKS incidents with a read-only, evidence-first investigation. This skill covers the full Day-2 troubleshooting surface — workloads, nodes, networking, ingress, upgrades, and spot/zone disruptions — and produces a structured incident report. ## Operating rules **Read-only by default.** Do not restart, delete, cordon, drain, scale, upgrade, or reconfigure any resource unless the user explicitly asks for remediation. Gather evidence, name the root cause, and propose the fix — but do not apply it uninvited. **Evidence before conclusion.** Do not state a root cause without quoting the evidence that supports it. "Pod is Pending" and "node is NotReady" are symptoms, not causes — trace them to the specific selector, taint, exhausted resource, or Azure-side condition. …

How to install
mdr add azure/aks-skills/aks-troubleshooting@sha256:e3af604634f7cd12The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, 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.
