Know what you actually run, where it came from, and what changed — manifest vs lockfile vs installed vs shipped, identity before trust, pinning by digest, and vulnerability reports treated as candidates until reachability is shown. Use whenever a dependency enters, moves, or is questioned: "add this package", "npm/pip/cargo install", "upgrade this library", "bump the version", "dependabot opened 40 PRs", "we have a critical CVE", "is this package safe", "vendor this", "update the base image…
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
# Dependency Provenance Most of what runs in production was written by people you will never meet, pulled by a resolver you did not watch, at a moment you did not choose. That is a reasonable trade — and it is only reasonable if you can answer three questions at any time: 1. **What do we actually run?** Not what the manifest requests. What is in the artifact. 2. **Where did it come from?** Which registry, which publisher, which commit, and what proves the link. 3. **What changed, and did anyone look?** A dependency policy that cannot answer these is a preference, not a control. Composes with: `deterministic-core` (a build that isn't reproducible can't be attested), `attack-surface-triage` (the build system is an entry point with production credentials), `claim-provenance-discipline` (a scanner's severity is its claim, not your finding), `versioned-schema-evolution` (upgrades change serialized shapes), `irreversible-action-gate` (publishing is R3). --- ## Part 1 — Four different answers to "what version do we use" These diverge constantly, and people quote whichever one is at hand: | Layer | What it says | How it lies | |---|---|---| …

How to install
mdr add annatchijova/skills/dependency-provenance@sha256:9507f18ed8ea8714The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260815.cf0de79, 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.
