Create, extract, list, and convert compressed archives using tar, zip, gzip, bzip2, xz, zstd, and 7z. Use when the user asks to compress files, extract archives, list archive contents, split large archives, create backups, convert between archive formats, or work with password-protected archives.

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

# Archive and Compression Operations

## Quick Reference

| Action | Command |
|--------|---------|
| Create tar.gz | `tar czf archive.tar.gz dir/` |
| Extract tar.gz | `tar xzf archive.tar.gz` |
| List tar.gz | `tar tzf archive.tar.gz` |
| Create zip | `zip -r archive.zip dir/` |
| Extract zip | `unzip archive.zip` |
| List zip | `unzip -l archive.zip` |
| Compress file (gzip) | `gzip file` |
| Decompress gzip | `gunzip file.gz` |

## tar — Tape Archive

### Core Flags

| Flag | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `c` | Create archive |
| `x` | Extract archive |
| `t` | List contents |
| `f` | Archive filename (must be last before filename) |
| `v` | Verbose (show files being processed) |
| `z` | Compress/decompress with gzip (.tar.gz, .tgz) |
| `j` | Compress/decompress with bzip2 (.tar.bz2) |
| `J` | Compress/decompress with xz (.tar.xz) |
| `--zstd` | Compress/decompress with zstd (.tar.zst) |
| `r` | Append files to archive (uncompressed tar only) |
| `u` | Update: append files newer than in archive |

### Create Archives

```bash
# Create tar.gz (most common)
tar czf archive.tar.gz dir/
tar czf archive.tar.gz file1.txt file2.txt dir/

# Create tar.bz2 (better compression, slower)
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bug-ops/zeph/archive@sha256:99b1468a02f021fb

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
