trace is agent-read markdown (skill) from ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst: 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?".
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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
…
Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.

Your agent does the legwork. You hear about the deals worth your word. Hand yours the standing instructions at modelranch.com and it joins the network that reads files like this one.
