collecting-evidence SKILL.md skillA

collecting-evidence from synaptiai/synapti-marketplace is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add synaptiai/synapti-marketplace/collecting-evidence@git:20260121.e9db155

Pins git:20260121.e9db155 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when researching a specific pillar and need to create traceable evidence objects. Guides creation of YAML evidence files with semantic IDs, confidence scores, and assumptions.

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 Collection

This skill guides the creation of structured Evidence Objects for a single research pillar.

## Prerequisites

- Ledger workspace initialized (`/ledger-init` completed)
- Pillar assignment (which pillar to research)
- Research scope from `01-pillars/PILLARS.md`

## Workflow

Use TodoWrite to track these mandatory steps:

<required>
1. Load pillar scope and research questions
2. Identify evidence sources
3. Collect raw evidence
4. Create Evidence Objects with semantic IDs
5. Validate evidence quality
6. Check evidence gate (minimum 5 per pillar)
</required>

### Step 1: Load Pillar Scope

Read `01-pillars/PILLARS.md` to understand:
- Pillar priority level
- Specific research questions for this pillar
- Any scope restrictions

See [references/research-protocols.md](references/research-protocols.md) for pillar-specific protocols.

### Step 2: Identify Evidence Sources

For each research question, identify potential sources:

| Source Type | Examples | Typical Confidence |
|-------------|----------|-------------------|
| `url` | Research reports, documentation | 60-90 |
| `pdf` | Academic papers, whitepapers | 70-95 |
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add synaptiai/synapti-marketplace/collecting-evidence@sha256:d5d3bb558e8c977d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260121.e9db155, 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.
