Correlation walked in; make it prove causation. Use when someone claims "X causes Y" from observational data, asks "did the change actually cause the improvement?", "is this confounded?", "what would have happened if we hadn't shipped it?", plans an A/B test, or investigates why an incident/outbreak spread the way it did.
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
# Causal Audit **Problem shape:** a causal claim is being made, tested, or acted on, and the evidence is correlational, confounded, unreplicated, or resisted by the organization even when clean. The move: make the causal structure explicit, then intervene or design the comparison that could refute it. ## Relevant geniuses | Agent | Use when | |---|---| | [pearl](../../agents/genius/pearl.md) | "X causes Y" claimed from correlation; counterfactual questions; controlled-for variables may be colliders — draw the DAG first | | [fisher](../../agents/genius/fisher.md) | an experiment is being designed: randomize, block, replicate, factorial over one-at-a-time; "run it and see" needs a design document | | [peirce](../../agents/genius/peirce.md) | surprising observation needs candidate explanations; several hypotheses and a limited budget — test cheapest-to-refute first | | [semmelweis](../../agents/genius/semmelweis.md) | matched groups with wildly different outcomes; the evidence is clear but the institution resists it | | [snow](../../agents/genius/snow.md) | something is spreading (bug, outage class, behavior) — outbreak investigation, case definitions, Hill's criteria | …

How to install
mdr add cdeust/zetetic-team-subagents/causal-audit@sha256:7308a35c1fc62c66The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.4372ea9, 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.
