Fix the instrument before trusting the number. Use when someone says "the metric improved but I don't trust it", "measured more than the parts predict", "we want to improve X but nothing reads X", "the numbers don't add up", "requests/money/time are disappearing", or a measurement may perturb the system it measures.
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 Discipline **Problem shape:** a quantity is being read, improved, or argued about, but the instrument, the unit, or the conservation ledger behind it has never been audited. Symptoms: residuals outside noise, metrics without operational definitions, inputs and outputs that don't balance, observer effects, one-method-only results. ## Relevant geniuses | Agent | Use when | |---|---| | [curie](../../agents/genius/curie.md) | measured > predicted from known parts; instrument missing or unit undefined; measurement may perturb the system (Heisenbugs, observability overhead) | | [shannon](../../agents/genius/shannon.md) | "improving X" where X has no formal definition; method proposed without knowing the theoretical limit; a metric with no repeatable procedure | | [lavoisier](../../agents/genius/lavoisier.md) | money, data, requests, or time "disappearing"; inputs and outputs never balanced; the residual needs a name and a carrier | | [galileo](../../agents/genius/galileo.md) | phenomenon obscured by secondary effects; too fast/large/rare to observe directly; qualitative claims that need a number | …

How to install
mdr add cdeust/zetetic-team-subagents/measurement-discipline@sha256:b9e97cc4b4794d22The 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.
