Compare two periods of the same report and say what moved, by how much, and which few lines explain the total — ranked, with rate split from volume. Use when the user has this month's and last month's numbers (workbook, CSV, PowerPoint pack, PDF or Word doc) and asks what changed, what's driving it, why revenue or cost moved, or wants month-on-month or quarter-on-quarter variance commentary they can repeat in a meeting. Not a cell-by-cell diff, and it never invents a cause the source doesn't…

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

# What's changed

Every reporting pack answers *what the number is*. Nobody ships the paragraph that says
**what moved, by how much, and which two lines account for most of it.** That paragraph is
what gets asked for in the meeting.

**The product is the ranking, and the discipline is not explaining.** Of the forty things
that moved, name the few that explain the total, say plainly that the rest is noise, and
**never supply a cause the source does not state.** A report that says "down on seasonal
softness" is worse than useless — it puts a fabricated cause into someone's mouth in a
standup.

## Workflow

### 1. Take both periods as given

Two files — prior and current — or one file with two period columns. Accepts `.xlsx`,
`.xlsm`, `.csv`, `.tsv`, `.pptx`, `.pdf`, `.docx`, or text pasted into chat. **Mixed pairs
are normal and supported**: an August PDF against a September workbook is what the user has
to hand, because the workbook stayed with whoever built it.

Infer which is the earlier period from filenames, sheet or slide titles, or a date header.

**Ask nothing unless genuinely blocked.** At most two questions, and only these:
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add raghuramsirigiri/raghuram-skills/whats-changed@sha256:9f118a119430ae3b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.ba78503, 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.
