Locks manuscript numbers to an analysis-written registry; a fail-closed gate traces each to its SAP output, script commit, and source hash. Use when reporting or checking results.

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

# Numbers Locked to Raw Data

> **Run every command from the user's project root.** `$SKILL_DIR` anchors the script path; manuscript paths resolve against the current directory and the registry against the project root.

## Skill Value

- **Problem it solves:** Hand-typed results drift from the analysis: a rerun changes an estimate, a Table 1 cell is pasted from an old run, an abstract keeps a superseded P value, and nobody can say which script produced a sentence's number.
- **Use when:** The user reports results in a manuscript, abstract, Table 1, figure caption, or model card, or wants to know whether every number traces to the analysis before submission.
- **Output:** `analysis/numbers/registry.json` (aggregates only), manuscripts that cite numbers as `{{num:<id>}}`, rendered copies, and a gate report of `file:line`, reason, and token that exits non-zero on any untraced, stale, unknown, or small-cell number, or when it found nothing to check.
- **Ask only if:** The SAP output ID for a number is unknown, or a numeric token is a design constant (dose, unit, threshold) the study team has not declared.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sajor2000/methodsmith/method-numbers@sha256:2de5d7c3d87b2140

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.73cbef7, 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.
