trace from ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Show the provenance trace, linking every reported number to the SQL that produced it with a confidence badge. Use after an analysis when someone asks "where did that number come from?".

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

# /trace: expose the query logic behind every number

Renders and shares one self-contained HTML that ties each reported number (a **finding**) back to the **query**
that produced it, labeled by confidence: **cited** (the agent named the query), **value-match** (a
query's captured `result_value` equals the number), or **inferred** (nearest query in time). Unmatched
findings and orphan queries are shown, not hidden. An unverified number is the most important thing to
surface. This is the on-demand artifact for any "prove it" moment.

It reads the analysis record, query log, bounded result previews, findings manifest,
action log, and reconciler.

## Steps

1. **Resolve the analysis.** Read the current analysis record:
   ```bash
   python3 -c "
   import sys; sys.path.insert(0, '.')
   from helpers.knowledge.analysis_context import current_analysis
   print(current_analysis() or '')
   "
   ```
   If there is no current analysis, there is nothing to trace yet. Say so and stop (or, for a past
   run, point `build_trace` at that analysis_id explicitly).

   Interactive analysis provenance always remains under the repository's
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst/trace@sha256:ff3db15a8d76ea95

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.652dcb5, 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.
