Autonomous observe-hypothesize-predict-test-discriminate loop for operational anomalies. USE WHEN: solving a PEPR action, root-cause or operational study where the symptom, driver or important relationships are NOT given up front. Uses neqsim.process.diagnostics.RelationshipGraph for lead-lag relationship discovery across historian tags, then hands off to neqsim-root-cause-analysis.

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

# NeqSim Autonomous Investigation Skill

Make agents *investigate* instead of *follow a checklist*. Use this skill when a
task (PEPR action, root-cause, operational study, digital-twin deviation) does
**not** tell you the symptom, the driver, or which relationships matter. The goal
is that the agent discovers the important relationships from the data and the
flowsheet on its own, forms competing hypotheses, and tests them — reaching
findings that were not spelled out in the task.

## When to Use

- A PEPR action or work order describes a *problem* but not a *cause*.
- Historian data is available but no one has said "look at tag X vs tag Y".
- A model-vs-plant deviation appears and the responsible variable is unknown.
- Any "why is this happening?" question where spoon-feeding relations is wrong.

Do **not** use this to replace a known, well-scoped calculation — if the symptom
and mechanism are already given, go straight to `neqsim-root-cause-analysis` or
the relevant discipline skill.

## The Investigation Loop (mandatory ordering)

Run this loop *before* fixing a scope. Never assume the task's stated
classification is correct — treat it as a hypothesis to challenge.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add equinor/neqsim/neqsim-autonomous-investigation@sha256:20aa4dd6be289dd7

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
