Diagnose and fix Kubernetes deployment failures, especially ImagePullBackOff, CrashLoopBackOff, and architecture mismatches. Battle-tested from 4-hour AKS debugging session with 10+ failure modes resolved.
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 Deployment Troubleshooter
## Overview
This skill captures systematic approaches to debugging Kubernetes deployments, with specific focus on container image issues. Based on real debugging session resolving 10+ different failure modes.
## When to Use
- Pods stuck in `ImagePullBackOff`
- Pods in `CrashLoopBackOff` with `exec format error`
- "no match for platform in manifest" errors
- Image registry authentication issues
- Helm deployment timeouts
## Quick Diagnosis Flow
```
Pod not running?
│
├─► ImagePullBackOff
│ │
│ ├─► "not found" ──► Wrong tag or registry path
│ ├─► "unauthorized" ──► Auth/imagePullSecrets issue
│ └─► "no match for platform" ──► Architecture mismatch
│
├─► CrashLoopBackOff
│ │
│ ├─► "exec format error" ──► Wrong CPU architecture
│ ├─► Exit code 1 ──► App startup failure (check logs)
│ └─► OOMKilled ──► Memory limits too low
│
└─► Pending
│
├─► Insufficient CPU/memory ──► Scale cluster or reduce requests
└─► No matching node ──► Check nodeSelector/tolerations
```

How to install
mdr add mjunaidca/mjs-agent-skills/aks-deployment-troubleshooter@sha256:c29361747723599dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
