What it does
Scans a live Kubernetes environment with `mirrord dump` to find an identifier mirrord can filter traffic on: a header, a `baggage` or `tracestate` member, a tenant or user id, a trace id (W3C, B3, X-Ray, Google, Jaeger), a JWT claim, a cookie, a path segment, or a JSON body field that is present on every hop of a request chain, unique to one developer's traffic, and settable by that developer. Runs mirror-only dumps on each service, sends a tagged probe request at the edge or observes real traffic, scores the candidates, and produces the matching `http_filter` (regex, jq on headers, path, method, body, or combinations) plus a per-hop report of where each identifier is dropped. Installs the mirrord CLI through a package manager when it is missing. Use when the user asks what to filter on, whether the cluster already propagates a request id or trace context, how to isolate their own requests on a shared staging cluster, how to filter on a JWT or cookie with mirrord, or wants to inspect live traffic with mirrord dump. Changes no application code: propagation gaps go to the mirrord-header-propagation skill.
mirrord Propagation Discovery Skill
mirrord routes a request to a developer's local process when the request matches an HTTP filter. On a shared cluster that filter has to pick out one developer's requests at every service the request passes through, so the value it matches on must already travel with the request across all hops. This skill finds that value in a live environment instead of assuming one: it dumps the traffic arriving at each service with
mirrord dump, checks which identifiers survive from the edge to the last hop, and turns the best one into amirrord.jsonfilter. The sister skillmirrord-header-propagationchanges code to makebaggagepropagate; this one changes nothing and tells you what already works.
