Use when writing or reviewing anything that will be read as true — a decision record, a README, an acceptance report, a runbook, a changelog entry, an audit finding, or any claim that something was verified. Applies the ten canons of evidence-backed documentation — what makes a claim documentation rather than an assertion — and routes to the doctrine that enforces each one. Also use when a project needs a documentation gate, a decision register, a propagation matrix, or a retrospective that…

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

# Evidence-backed documentation

**A claim is documentation only when it carries the means to check it.** This skill is
the standard and the map: ten canons, and where each is defined, enforced and seeded.

It is a **navigator, not a second copy**. Every law below has exactly one home — that is
canon 3, and a navigator that restated the doctrine would break the rule it is indexing.
The full statement of each canon, its rationale and its enforcement live in
[`documentation.md`](references/documentation.md) → *The canons*.

## The ten canons

1. **A claim carries its address** — `file:line`, a command with its output, a test name; a lesson names its commit.
   - **1a. A token that looks like evidence is not evidence until it has been resolved.** A sha, a line number, a path, a flag, a test name: every one can be plausible and absent, and each is trusted at exactly the moment nobody re-reads it. A commit reference is filled **after** the commit exists and checked with a command.
2. **Numbers are computed, never restated.**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ssheleg/task-pipeline/evidence-docs@sha256:f656ed03bc4dfec4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.42b1dce, 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.
