audit-validator-independence SKILL.md skillA
audit-validator-independence 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/audit-validator-independence@git:20260923.cbc38aaPins git:20260923.cbc38aa in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Audit whether a validator, benchmark, sandbox, or test can pass by construction because it embeds the same assumptions as the theory it claims to validate. Build a claim×validator-assumption matrix and demand at least one non-circular failure channel.
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
# audit-validator-independence
## Purpose
Detect validators that pass by construction because they copy the target theory's assumptions.
## Input contract
```yaml
mode_contracts:
validator: &validator_audit_input
required: [target_claim, validator, validator_artifacts]
optional: [data_generation, metric, oracle, acceptance_rule]
constraints: [validator_assumptions_and_target_assumptions_must_be_separately_listed]
benchmark: *validator_audit_input
sandbox: *validator_audit_input
simulation: *validator_audit_input
```
## Execution protocol
Do not perform called SOP operations inline; each loaded SOP owns its contract and thresholds.
1. You MUST load skill `enumerate-validator-assumptions` to enumerate embedded validator assumptions.
2. You MUST load skill `build-noncircularity-matrix` to cross-tabulate target and validator assumptions.
3. You MUST load skill `detect-pass-by-construction` to detect copied assumptions. You MUST load skill `design-falsification-test` to design an independent failure channel.
Deviation: if no non-circular channel is feasible, return blocked validation rather than a pass.
## Output contract
```yaml
mode_contracts:

How to install
mdr add yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/audit-validator-independence@sha256:a25bec9a431ad9d5The 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.
