drill-root-causes SKILL.md skillA
drill-root-causes from yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/drill-root-causes@git:20260923.cbc38aaPins git:20260923.cbc38aa in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Move from symptoms to causal structure using complementary root-cause representations and causal-validity checks.
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
# drill-root-causes ## Purpose Move from symptoms to causal structure using complementary root-cause representations and validity checks. ## Input contract ```yaml required: [symptoms_or_undesirable_effects] optional: [evidence, system_boundary, known_causes] constraints: [each causal edge needs an evidence or assumption label] ``` ## Execution protocol Do not perform called SOP operations inline; each loaded SOP owns its contract and thresholds. 1. You MUST load skill `drill-five-whys` to drill repeated whys. 2. You MUST load skill `decompose-ishikawa` to decompose six causal categories. 3. You MUST load skill `build-current-reality-tree` to build the current-reality tree. 4. You MUST load skill `validate-causal-link` to validate its causal links. If the root-cause chain depends on untested assumptions, consider `assumption-stress-test` as the next tactic. Deviation: use fewer representations only when the input explicitly limits scope; record omitted views and reason. ## Output contract ```yaml produces: [why_chain, ishikawa_map, current_reality_tree, root_cause_set] delta_fields: [findings, assumption_updates, uncertainties, decisions, open_questions] ``` …

How to install
mdr add yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/drill-root-causes@sha256:c548865d03d531abThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.cbc38aa, 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.
