Audit experiment integrity against the evidence ledger. At L2 (repo + result files present) a fresh cross-model reviewer reads the eval code line-by-line for fake/derived ground truth, score self-normalization, phantom results (a paper number with no backing file/key), dead/uncalled metric code, verified-scope inflation, method-described ≠ method-evaluated drift, synthesized-looking results, placeholder/fake data still wired into a released result, code-output ≠ reported-number mismatch, and…

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

# Experiment Forensics — are the reported results what the code computes?

Audit experiment integrity for: **$ARGUMENTS** (a paper-dir or repo-dir; use an
ABSOLUTE path — it is referred to as `TARGET` below). Emit span-anchored
`experiment-forensics.findings.json`.

> 🔒 **Do not wrap this skill in `/loop`, `/schedule`, or `CronCreate`.** It is
> verdict-bearing input — it proposes the findings the deterministic adjudicator
> turns into the report. Re-firing it on a wall-clock timer adds no signal: what
> unlocks new conclusions is a higher **observability level** (a repo / result
> files arriving → L2), not elapsed time. Schedule the *external wait that precedes
> it* — artifacts released → run **once** at the new level. (Mirrors ARIS's
> external-cadence doctrine.)

> Adapted from ARIS `experiment-audit` (#57/#131), reframed for the reviewer side.
> The original audits *your own* experiment before you claim results; this audits a
> *third party's* submission. The crucial reframe: at **L0/L1 (no code)** these
> patterns are **not decidable** — they appear only as info-level "could-not-verify"
> signals. **Code-level fraud requires L2.** A PDF can never produce a fraud verdict.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add wanshuiyin/anti-autoresearch/experiment-forensics@sha256:fdeb56ec8ffc445e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260810.98a75fc, 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.
