Enforce evidence-based claims through file:line citations, P1/P2/P3 prioritization proportional to evidence, and the ASSERTION/EVIDENCE/VERIFIED pattern for behavioral claims before any recommendation. Use when gathering evidence, presenting findings, or making development decisions. This skill MUST be consulted because confidence is not evidence, and ungrounded claims cause incorrect development decisions.
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
# Evidence-Based Development ## Iron Law **Evidence before claims: if you haven't read the code, you don't know what it does.** No recommendation without a citation. No behavioral claim without verification. Confidence is not evidence. ## Show Before Decide Never propose a change without first showing the current state: "Here's what I found at `file.rb:42` → here's what I recommend → here's why." ## Citation Requirements Every claim about code carries a `file_path:line_number` reference. When reviewing diffs, cite the file and the specific hunk. When reporting issues, show the exact code snippet. ## Finding Prioritization All findings, review comments, and issues use P1/P2/P3. Every finding carries evidence (file:line, test output, runtime observation) proportional to its priority. | Priority | Meaning | Action | |----------|---------|--------| | **P1** | Must fix — blocks merge, security issue, data loss risk, broken functionality | Fix before proceeding | | **P2** | Should fix — logic error, missing edge case, test gap, convention violation | Fix in this PR | …

How to install
mdr add synaptiai/synapti-marketplace/evidence-based-development@sha256:412a107c452e4f19The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.21b6797, 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.
