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

# Skill Provenance

> Portable provenance, integrity, and drift control for Agent Skills.

Skill Provenance is a metaskill that keeps version identity, staleness detection, and hash-based integrity verification inside the skill bundle so it survives local folders, registries, platform uploads, and multi-agent sessions.

Most ecosystem tools track source, registry, install, or deployment state. Skill Provenance tracks the actual multi-file bundle an agent is editing, which matters when SKILL.md, evals, scripts, packages, and deployed copies can drift independently.

## Core concepts

- **Bundle version**: Semver version for the entire skill bundle, stored in MANIFEST.yaml
- **Per-file versions**: Integer revision counters for each file in the bundle
- **SHA-256 hashes**: Every file's hash is recorded in the manifest for integrity verification
- **Standalone verification**: `https://skillprovenance.dev/verify.sh` delegates to the canonical validator only after its pinned SHA-256 matches
- **Release tag families**: Bundle artifacts use exact `vX.Y.Z` tags; GuideCheck assistant-guide artifacts use `guidecheck-X.Y.Z` tags. A generic latest label is ambiguous in this repository

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add snapsynapse/skill-provenance/llms.txt@sha256:3c7bc249d9ab6220

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.faf6b58, 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.
