Establish whether an out-of-band change to a live object is load-bearing — whether the state the manifests declare would still run if the change were undone — before recommending a revert. Read-only. For drift triage, emergency hotfixes found in a cluster, and any decision between a declared state and a live one.
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
# GKE Load-Bearing Change Use this skill when something changed a live object outside git and you have to say whether the declared state or the live state should win. It answers one question, and that question decides the recommendation: **would the state git declares still run if you put it back?** A change that is the only reason a workload is up is load-bearing, and proposing to revert it proposes an outage. A change that nothing depends on is not, and proposing to codify it writes somebody's accident into git. The skill is read-only: it reads history, events, the live object and whatever depends on it, and proposes nothing beyond naming what it found. It does not try to learn why the change was made. An operator unblocking a deploy at speed leaves no annotation and no ticket, so the motive is usually unknowable, and guessing at one is how a report ends up asserting something it cannot support. Load-bearing is a property of the cluster, not of anybody's intent, and it is observable. ## When to run it - A drift card asks you to choose between reverting an out-of-band change and codifying it. …

How to install
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-load-bearing-change@sha256:a1dc78447103c341The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.601c614, 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.
