EKS cluster reconnaissance and environment discovery — reports the raw FACTS of a cluster and its environment.
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
# EKS Reconnaissance — DevOps Agent Port ## Overview This skill discovers and documents the current state of an EKS cluster and its environment. It connects via AWS control-plane APIs and the Kubernetes API, runs detection across up to 11 modules, and produces a **facts-only** report: a markdown fact report (primary) plus a secondary YAML facts snapshot for inspection/export. Recon answers the question: *"What is this cluster, right now?"* It **reports facts only** — it never scores, rates, plans, or recommends. Reporting a fact that also matters to another skill (upgrade, security, cost, design) is expected and fine; the dividing line is discovery-of-facts (here) vs. verdict/score/artifact (route elsewhere). > **Execution model — fully autonomous.** This skill runs autonomously with no > interactive prompts. It proceeds through discovery and detection without pausing > for user input. When the target cluster is ambiguous (multiple clusters, none named), > it assesses **all** discovered clusters. When a non-recoverable error occurs (API > permission failure, no clusters found), it logs the error in the report and terminates > per the Step 0 decision table. ## Prerequisites …

How to install
mdr add aws-samples/sample-apex-skills/eks-recon@sha256:3bf2e211a58bd4feThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.2ffc87a, 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.
