Investigate intermittent test failures, order dependence, timing races, and environment instability. Use to reproduce or repair flakes and assess quarantine; a deterministic product failure belongs in ordinary debugging or QA.
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
# Litmus flakes Find why the same expectation sometimes fails. Preserve the failure before trying to make the run green. ## Establish the variation Collect the test, build or revision, runner configuration, initial state, failing assertion, and available successful and failed artifacts. Mixed results at one revision identify intermittency, not its cause: product races, shared data, infrastructure, and the test itself are all candidates. Infer investigation versus repair from the request. Investigation stays read-only apart from running scoped tests and collecting evidence. Repair may change the responsible code or test but must preserve the behaviour being asserted. ## Isolate the cause Reproduce with a bounded run or experiment chosen to distinguish hypotheses. Start with the failing test and relevant setup rather than looping the whole suite. Stop repeated runs that add no evidence; report attempts and conditions, not a selectively green sample. …

How to install
mdr add blakecyze/skills/litmus-flakes@sha256:4fe62e02704ca4c8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.3f6ad47, 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.
