gloss-drift-audit from augchan42/inkstone is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add augchan42/inkstone/gloss-drift-audit@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when a source text has been re-vendored, re-collated, or corrected and translations, glosses, or image prompts were derived from the older reading — or when hash/staleness checks report clean but shipped content still says the wrong thing. Covers classical Chinese corpora, any source→translation→prompt→image chain, and deciding which derived rows must be redone before paying to re-render.
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
# Gloss Drift Audit When a source text is corrected, everything derived from it inherits the old reading. This skill is the order of operations for finding what inherited it — and, just as important, for **not** re-deriving the 96% that is fine. ## The chain ``` source ──► gloss ──► prompt ──► rendered asset free free free PAID ``` Every arrow can change meaning. Cost is flat until the last one. That asymmetry dictates the whole order: settle meaning first, move prompts only where meaning actually moved, render once at the end. ## Two failure classes — do not conflate them | | Movement staleness | Meaning error | |---|---|---| | What happened | source moved under the gloss | gloss was wrong the day it was written | | Detectable? | yes — stamp the source digest per axis | **no** — nothing in the text reveals it | | Self-clearing? | yes, on restamp | no | | Typical measure | `sha(source) != stamp` | none exists by default | …

How to install
mdr add augchan42/inkstone/gloss-drift-audit@sha256:88d9557d3d9c606eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
