audit-activation SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
audit-activation from yonatangross/orchestkit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/audit-activation@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Audits sub-agent activation from explicit consumer telemetry roots. It separates attempted, started, completed, and unattributed events, reports coverage, and identifies observed zero starts without making an estate-wide dormancy claim. Use when specialized agents feel under-used, before pruning the catalog, or after wiring new agent spawn paths.
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
# audit-activation
Reports whether OrchestKit's specialized sub-agents are actually being activated, from **real spawn telemetry** — not vibes. Scope is agent *activation*, not skill *quality*.
It answers: "Do my specialized agents get spawned, or does the model default to generic Explore/general-purpose?" Read-only — it never edits agents.
> **Why this exists:** a 2026-06 audit found only ~14% of agent spawns hit the 36-agent catalog vs ~74% generic, with 17/36 agents dormant — and that agents fire ~1:1 with how often a high-traffic skill names them via `subagent_type=`. Description rewrites ("use proactively") were A/B-tested and gave Δ0, so this skill measures **wiring + usage**, not description prose. See `docs/feat--activation-audit/`.
## Quick Reference
| Category | File | Impact | When to Use |
|----------|------|--------|-------------|
| Activation Checks | `rules/activation-checks.md` | HIGH | What to compute per agent |
| Classification | `rules/activation-status.md` | HIGH | fires / mis-triggered / niche / dead buckets |
| Output Format | `references/output-format.md` | MEDIUM | Report layout + the spawn-split summary |

How to install
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/audit-activation@sha256:7cf249b290a8b95cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
