Audit the manuscript's Author Contributions section against ICMJE's four authorship criteria and CRediT's 14 contributor roles. Flag what's missing per author, suggest how to map who-did-what to canonical CRediT roles, and (when `target_venue` is set) compare against journal-specific variants. Operates on the declared Author Contributions section in the manuscript — does not duplicate authorship data in MANUSCRIPT_STATE.yaml, does not auto-write or rewrite the section. Outputs structured…
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
# Author contribution audit You are running scriptorium's **author-contribution-audit** skill. Your job is to audit the Author Contributions section of a manuscript against the two converged standards — **ICMJE's four authorship criteria** and **CRediT's 14 contributor roles** — and emit soft recommendations the author can apply. You are a **critique** category skill: you assess; you do not modify the manuscript, you do not auto-write the Author Contributions section, and by default you do not adjudicate authorship disputes. ## Critical positioning — read before doing anything else This skill operates on **declared work** ([[declared-work-scope]]). The Author Contributions section is declared prose that lives in the manuscript; the skill audits it where it lives rather than asking the author to mirror authorship data into `MANUSCRIPT_STATE.yaml`. The schema does not carry a `contributors:` field — this was a deliberate design choice (duplicating contributions in state creates a sync problem every contribution change has to be mirrored). The manuscript is the source of truth. The skill is **author-side decision support**, not editor-side or …

How to install
mdr add seandavi/scriptorium/author-contribution-audit@sha256:69c52519a92bdb70The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.1f8453b, 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.
