Use when deciding how much capital may sit on an exchange that publishes a Merkle sum tree proof of reserves; rehashes your inclusion path to the declared root and audits the branch for negative balances.
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
## When to Use Use this skill when deciding how much trading capital may sit on a centralised exchange, and the exchange publishes a cryptographic Proof of Reserves (PoR) you are being invited to trust. It turns a published Merkle sum tree root, your own audit path, the exchange's declared liability total and an independently established on-chain reserve figure into an auditable verdict rather than a screenshot of a dashboard. The engine answers four separable questions, and reports them separately because they fail separately: 1. Is your balance really committed to by the published root? 2. Is any balance on your branch negative — the manipulation that shrinks declared liabilities? 3. Does the sum the tree commits to at its root equal the liability total the exchange published? 4. Do on-chain reserves cover that verified liability figure? Question 3 is the one most PoR reviews skip, and it is the one that makes a Merkle *sum* tree worth more than a plain Merkle tree: without it an exchange can publish a correct tree alongside a smaller liability number and report an inflated coverage ratio that every individual inclusion proof will still pass. ## When NOT to Use …

How to install
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/exchange-proof-of-reserves-verification@sha256:72c2634b082aca5bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
