Trace an analytical claim to its receipt, source, query, result, and run evidence. Use when the user asks where a number came from, wants to verify a query, or needs to inspect provenance.
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
# Trace one analysis First invoke the `trace` skill so the machine-readable provenance record, lightweight receipt, and shareable HTML exist. Then review the claim through these records: 1. The output states the claim. 2. The receipt identifies the source, data snapshot, query, and artifacts. 3. The trace records how the run unfolded. 4. Logs record specific system and query events. 5. The query and result provide execution evidence. Use `helpers.evals.trace.inspect_receipt` on `working/trace_receipt_<analysis_id>.json` to identify missing fields and initial query risks. Then inspect the analytical details that code cannot infer from syntax alone: population, filters, time window, timezone, exclusions, grain, join cardinality, missingness, referential integrity, freshness, reconciliation, and whether the claim stays within the evidence. For a query with a join and aggregate, test the grain directly. Compare the candidate total with a defensible reference query when one exists. A query that runs successfully may still answer the wrong question. Save the written review beside the analysis. Report the review path and the …

How to install
mdr add ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst/trace-analysis@sha256:3b023e936f601e29The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.652dcb5, 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.
