Explainability (XAI) audit for products containing AI components. Five-stage tier-scaled check: risk classification, stakeholder×question matrix, fidelity audit, system card, recourse path. Honest about what was validated functionally vs what needs user testing.

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

# XAI Check Skill

Operational gate for the Explainability Theory Gate (Gate 13). Audits whether a product's AI components meet a defensible XAI bar — disclosure, decision-explanation, recourse, fidelity, system card — scaled to the AI Act risk tier.

This skill is **functionally-grounded** in Doshi-Velez & Kim's (2017) sense: it operates on artifacts and configuration, not on real users with real tasks. Output explicitly distinguishes `validated_functionally` from `needs_user_testing`. The honest tag is what passes Gate 13; user-grounded validation is recommended but not blocking.

**The gate reads this skill's record (v0.331.0).** On a product with AI components detected, an Explainability pass counts only when a `services[].xai` block holds a verdict for each stage the scale asks: at an L3 the tier (Stage 1); at an L4 or L5 every stage, with `recourse.verdict` asked from the `limited` tier up. A stage that does not apply takes a verdict saying so (`not_applicable`). The scale-lock gate and the release gate name the stage that is missing. Until 0.331.0 the gate passed on the status word.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add haabe/mycelium/xai-check@sha256:3506feb2be897d99

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.9a8e9a1, 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.
