Audits whether scores, benchmarks, LLM judges, or surveys measure what we think. Use when a benchmark is saturated, a score unreliable, or judge agreement untrustworthy.
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
# Measurement Theory Foundations Establish whether an observation supports its intended interpretation and decision. A repeatable score can consistently measure the wrong thing. ## When to use **Use when** a task asks whether a metric, questionnaire, benchmark, sensor, rating, or composite score measures its intended target, or whether scores can be compared across groups, instruments, or time. **Do not use when** the task is only sampling uncertainty, causal identification, choosing an action, or implementing an evaluation pipeline. Those belong respectively to [statistical inference](../foundations-statistical-inference/SKILL.md), [causal inference](../foundations-causal-inference/SKILL.md), [decision theory](../foundations-decision-theory/SKILL.md), and [ai-evals](../ai-evals/SKILL.md). ## Workflow 1. Define the intended interpretation, population, decision, and cost of measurement error. Identify what is observed and what remains latent. …

How to install
mdr add vasilyu1983/ai-agents-public/foundations-measurement-theory@sha256:bb7b449f11b23b11The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, 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.
