triangulation skillA

triangulation is agent-read markdown (skill) from ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst: Analyze one decision through independent methods or sources, compare the paths, and reconcile disagreement. Use when a novel analysis needs corroboration and no single answer key is available..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Triangulate an analysis

## Select paths deliberately

First determine what the available data can support. Choose paths that differ in method, source, population, assumptions, or counterfactual. Opening more sessions that repeat the same method is not meaningful triangulation.

Each path must work without seeing the other paths' conclusions. Record:

- path ID;
- method;
- source;
- population;
- assumptions;
- direction as `yes`, `no`, or `unclear`; and
- the evidence supporting that direction.

For a live analysis, use three paths unless the user requests another number. Inspect the available data first, then propose three methods that answer different parts of the decision and rely on meaningfully different assumptions. Aim for a 400-word proposal and never exceed 500 words. Keep each path narrow enough to complete with no more than two read-only queries and a narrative of no more than 250 words unless the user asks for a deeper analysis. Compact SQL and result tables do not count toward the narrative limit.

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
