Use this skill when an audit, attestation period or customer review is coming and someone asks "is our evidence up to date", "check the evidence folder before the auditor sees it", "which screenshots are stale", "do we have evidence for the whole period", "find undated evidence" or "what will the auditor reject". Indexes every evidence artefact with the date inside it, its owner and the period it covers, flags what is stale, undated, unowned, outside the audit period or missing for a recurring…
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
Run this four to eight weeks before fieldwork, early enough to fix gaps by running the activity, not by producing paper. You get two files in a new folder, `./evidence-freshness-check/`: a spreadsheet you can open in Excel listing every piece of audit evidence with the date it really shows and whether it is current, stale or undated (`evidence-index.csv`), and a short report of what is missing or out of date, with a to-do list per owner (`freshness-report.md`). This skill drafts for a human to review and sign; this skill never marks a control effective. Whether an item satisfies the auditor is the auditor's call. End `freshness-report.md` with `## Not checked`: what this run did not read or could not open, what it assumed and what it did not verify, specific to this run. ## Inputs to gather …

How to install
mdr add better-isms/grcskills/evidence-freshness-check@sha256:123099aa0d2b89ebThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.690016c, 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.
