identify-variables SKILL.md skillA
identify-variables from yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/identify-variables@git:20260923.cbc38aaPins git:20260923.cbc38aa in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Identify relevant variables/factors and annotate functional roles.
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
# identify-variables ## Purpose Identify relevant variables, factors, conditions, and assumptions and annotate their functional roles. ## Input contract ```yaml required: [artifact_or_system, target_claim_or_outcome] optional: [causal_claims, domain_schema, candidate_factors] constraints: [include explicit and implicit factors; each variable has a role, provenance, and suspected importance] ``` ## Procedure 1. Parse the target claim or outcome and list quantities that could support, alter, or confound it. 2. Enumerate explicit and implicit variables, factors, conditions, and assumptions. 3. Classify functional roles such as causal variable, factor, design dimension, mediator, moderator, or confounder. 4. Attach provenance and suspected importance and return the structured variable list. If variables and their roles are defined well enough to assert directional relations, consider `represent-mechanism-edge` as the next tactic. ## Output contract ```yaml produces: [variable_register, role_annotations, provenance_links, importance_notes] delta_fields: [findings, evidence_updates, uncertainties, open_questions] ``` ## Quality gates …

How to install
mdr add yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/identify-variables@sha256:4bde685a70e68d55The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.cbc38aa, 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.
