infrastructure-drift-detection SKILL.md skillA
infrastructure-drift-detection from skillmds/skillmd is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add skillmds/skillmd/infrastructure-drift-detection@git:20260919.fecc0d5Pins git:20260919.fecc0d5 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Drift is the divergence between declared infrastructure and live infrastructure.
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
# Infrastructure Drift Detection (Verbose) ## Core Patterns ### Where Drift Actually Comes From Drift is the divergence between declared infrastructure and live infrastructure. Naming its sources matters because they call for different remedies. | Source | Example | Remedy | |---|---|---| | Emergency console change | Security group widened during an incident | Remove standing write access; codify after | | Convenience console change | "Just bumping the instance size" | Same — plus a faster pipeline | | Provider defaults | Tags, ARNs, or KMS keys injected at create | Codify the default, or ignore narrowly | | Controllers and autoscalers | `desired_count`, node group size | Narrow `ignore_changes` | | Out-of-band automation | A Lambda that rotates a rule | Bring it into code or exclude explicitly | | Manual state surgery | `state rm` after a botched apply | Review process; import rather than remove | The dominant source, by a wide margin, is the first two. Someone with production console access fixes a real problem in ninety seconds and does not come back to write it down — because the incident is over and the fix is working. …

How to install
mdr add skillmds/skillmd/infrastructure-drift-detection@sha256:d81bf51e78cfe384The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.fecc0d5, 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.
