Use when the user asks to "figure out where our direct traffic really comes from", "measure dark social", "add a how-did-you-hear-about-us field", or "show social drives signups without click data"; produces a share-link/UTM hygiene spec for owned share surfaces, a self-reported attribution field design that replaces an existing form field (free-text first, coded later), a GA4 direct-traffic decomposition read (deep-URL directs, mobile-app skew, private-push correlation) with every derived…

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

# Dark Social Attributor

Makes the unmeasurable share loop estimable — honestly. Dark social is the traffic that arrives with no referrer because the link traveled through a DM, a group chat (微信群 / WhatsApp / Slack / Discord), a newsletter forward, or an address-bar copy. This skill declares the estimation method and specs the instrumentation; it never turns an estimate into a Measured number. It is the Observe-phase upstream of the ECHO **O** dark-social sub-items (see [echo-benchmark.md](../../../references/echo-benchmark.md)): *dark-social method declared and Estimated-labeled before any social-ROI claim* (ECHO O2) and the *dark-social instrumentation coverage* rows (ECHO O6–O7 — share-link/UTM hygiene live plus a self-reported attribution field running). Its labels are also what keeps the ECHO O1 denominator-integrity veto passable downstream: proxies pass when labeled proxy.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills/dark-social-attributor@sha256:4d9f03dafaa06f95

The line at the top of this page pins the label v20.1.0, 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.
