Find absence-assertions that carry no attempt-record — code that returns the same empty value whether the work RAN and found nothing or was SKIPPED entirely, so the caller cannot tell the two apart. Detects the concrete syntactic shape: a boolean parameter gates real work, and the function falls through to an empty sentinel that records nothing. Zero config, one command, plain-language findings; reports what it could not parse rather than letting a clean run and an empty run look identical.…
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
# attempt-audit — an absence with no attempt-record is not evidence
## The one command
```bash
python3 scripts/attempt_audit.py # audits the current directory
python3 scripts/attempt_audit.py <path> # a file or a directory
python3 scripts/attempt_audit.py --json # machine-readable
```
No config file. No flags to memorise. No path required. That is the whole interface.
## What it looks for
One shape, precisely:
```python
def load_transcript(info, allow_whisper, outdir):
if allow_whisper: # a switch gating real work
cues = _whisper_faster(...) or _whisper_cli(...)
if cues:
return join_deoverlap(cues), cues # the computed result
return "", [] # the SAME value when skipped
```
A caller receiving `("", [])` cannot distinguish *"ASR ran, the clip was silent"*
from *"ASR was never invoked."* In the case that produced this tool, that
ambiguity became a confident `frames-mandatory` verdict with an empty
`degradations` list, on a clip carrying 282 words of speech.
The detector requires **all** of:

How to install
mdr add broomva/skills/attempt-audit@sha256:a7cd01f9b4998b39The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.8ea6186, 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.
