manuscript-provenance SKILL.md skillA
manuscript-provenance from mathews-tom/armory is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add mathews-tom/armory/manuscript-provenance@v1.2.0Pins v1.2.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Computational provenance audit verifying every number, table, and figure in a manuscript derives from code, not manual entry. Triggers on: "check provenance", "verify reproducibility", "audit my pipeline", "are my numbers from code", "provenance audit". Companion to manuscript-review (prose audit).
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
# Manuscript Provenance Audit **Pipeline position:** Phase 2a (grounding audit). Runs in parallel with `manuscript-typography`. Depends on: content settled after Phase 1 fixes. Produces macro manifest consumed by `manuscript-review` Pass 13 (Cross-Element Coherence). ## Purpose Verify that a manuscript is a faithful rendering of computational outputs. Every number, table, figure, category label, ordering, and threshold in the document must trace to a specific script, config file, or pipeline output. Manual data entry in a manuscript is a reproducibility defect. This skill produces a provenance map — a structured report linking each manuscript artifact to its generating code — and flags every break in the chain. Companion skill: `manuscript-review` audits the document as prose (structure, argumentation, citations). This skill audits whether the document content is computationally grounded. Run both for complete pre-publication coverage. ## Boundary Agreement with manuscript-review | Concern | manuscript-review | This skill (manuscript-provenance) | …

How to install
mdr add mathews-tom/armory/manuscript-provenance@sha256:54875231ce50f9fcThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, 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.
