Tracking and preserving the origin of every assertion as it travels through drafts, handoffs, summaries, and documents — ensuring confidence levels, scope bounds, and evidence pointers are never stripped in transit. Use whenever findings move between people or phases: postmortems, incident briefs, audit handoffs, executive summaries, escalation chains, or review cycles. Trigger when a finding is paraphrased without citing its source, when a confidence level disappears in a rewrite, when…
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
# Claim Provenance Discipline A methodology for preserving the epistemic status of a claim across its entire lifecycle — from first observation to final document. The problem it solves is not how to write a good claim (that is `daubert-defensible-writing`), but what happens to a correctly-written claim the moment it is summarized, paraphrased, handed off, or quoted. Every claim is a sign in Peirce's sense: it has an **object** (the thing in the world it refers to), a **representamen** (the words used), and an **interpretant** (what the reader takes it to mean). Claim decay happens when the representamen is altered in transit — compressed, promoted, or stripped of its bounds — while the interpretant in the receiving document stays anchored to the original strength. The reader believes the claim is stronger than any evidence warrants; no one lied; the decay was structural. This skill installs the structural fix: a claim carries its provenance, confidence level, scope, and falsifier as non-separable attributes, not as optional metadata that can be dropped at the summary stage. --- ## Part 1 — The Four Attributes That Must Travel …

How to install
mdr add annatchijova/skills/claim-provenance-discipline@sha256:2bd51ff6ec551587The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.eb435f4, 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.
