Trace where the user's recorded position on something has shifted: superseded claims, contradictions between sources of different dates, and what evidence moved them. Use this skill when the user asks what they have changed their mind about, how their thinking on a topic developed, what they used to believe, or wants a quarterly look back at their own positions. Do NOT use for finding contradictions between sources with no time dimension, or for a current-state answer.

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 changed positions

This is the query a vault can answer that nothing else can, and the reason the
supersession rules exist. It only works because contradictions are recorded
rather than overwritten.

## Core rule

Report the change with both positions, both dates and the evidence between them.
A conclusion without its history is just the current claim.

## Workflow

1. **Find superseded claims** across concept pages, and contradictions where the
   sources differ in date.
2. **Reconstruct the sequence:** what the page said, when, based on what; what
   changed it, when.
3. **Distinguish real revision from correction.** A factual error being fixed is
   not a change of mind. A conclusion being revised on better evidence is.
4. **Flag unresolved ones.** Contradictions still sitting open are the most
   actionable output here.
5. **Say how firm the current position is,** based on what moved it.

## Output format

```
## <topic>
Was: <claim> (<source>, <date>)
Now: <claim> (<source>, <date>)
What moved it: <evidence>
Firmness: <what would move it again>

## Still unresolved
<contradictions with no current position>
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add undefined-ui/second-brain-os/second-brain-changed-my-mind@sha256:28ca1e466183c317

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.1615b29, 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.
