Deprecated alias of publish-record. Publish the current Claude Code analysis to the civicaitools.org record registry as a cryptographically signed, timestamped, Rekor-logged record package. Invoke when the user has just completed a civic-data analysis (typically using the Socrata and/or Data Commons MCP tools) and says something like "publish this as evidence", "sign this analysis", "publish to civicaitools.org", or "make this a verifiable package.".
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
# publish-evidence (deprecated alias of `publish-record`) This skill was renamed to **`publish-record`** by the 2026-08-19 vocabulary settlement — see the specification's Appendix J, migration class *alias-and-deprecate*: "evidence" is retired as the name of the artifact and infrastructure surface (it overclaims — the package records how an answer was produced, not that the answer is correct) and retained only for the epistemic Question / Evidence / Claim role. **This alias is permanent, not a deprecation window.** People and notes in the wild say "publish-evidence"; that invocation keeps working. It will not be removed before the skill's next major version, and only then if nothing depends on it. ## What to do when this skill is invoked Follow **[`../publish-record/SKILL.md`](../publish-record/SKILL.md)** — the full, authoritative instructions — exactly as written. Read that file now and work from it. There is no second copy of the guidance here, and no second copy of the script: `publish.py` and `test_publish.py` live only in `.claude/skills/publish-record/`, so the alias and the canonical name always run byte-identical code. …

How to install
mdr add npstorey/civic-ai-tools/publish-evidence@sha256:4865ad5864e1ef59The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260820.96cf8b5, 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.
