trace-analysis skillA
trace-analysis is agent-read markdown (skill) from ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst: 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..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

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 …
