archaeology is agent-read markdown (skill) from notactuallytreyanastasio/deciduous: Transform narratives into a queryable decision graph.

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

# Archaeology

**Transform narratives into a queryable decision graph.**

Run `/narratives` first to create `.deciduous/narratives.md`.

## Step 1: Read the narratives

```bash
deciduous narratives show
```

For each narrative, you'll create a subgraph.

## Step 2: Create root goals

For each narrative, create a backdated goal:

```bash
deciduous add goal "<Narrative title>" -c 90 --date "YYYY-MM-DD"
```

## Step 3: Build initial approaches

```bash
deciduous add decision "<First approach>" -c 85 --date "YYYY-MM-DD"
deciduous link <goal> <decision> -r "Initial design"
```

## Step 4: Create pivots with `archaeology pivot`

For each **PIVOT** in a narrative, use the atomic pivot command:

```bash
deciduous archaeology pivot <from_id> "<what was learned>" "<new approach>" -c 85 -r "<why it failed>"
```

This automatically creates:
- observation node (what was learned)
- revisit node (reconsidering the old approach)
- decision node (the new approach)
- All 3 linking edges
- Marks the old approach as superseded

Preview before executing:
```bash
deciduous archaeology pivot <from_id> "observation" "new approach" --dry-run
```

## Step 5: Connect narratives
