kitaru-investigation skillA

kitaru-investigation is agent-read markdown (skill) from zenml-io/kitaru-skills: Guide users from their own agent code or recorded traces through Kitaru setup, session import or recording, human review, an accepted behavior, a versioned cohort, and evaluator selection, then hand one bounded change to the replay-experiment skill. Use when a user wants to connect or inspect an existing agent, import real traces from files or provider APIs, follow up on a post-import insight, investigate a known bad or surprising session, discover recurring failure modes, learn the evidence-led.

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

# Kitaru investigation

Treat this skill as Kitaru's evidence-led front door for real agents and traces.
Guide one continuous journey from the evidence the user has to a reviewed
behavior and, when they want to test a change, the
`kitaru-replay-experiment` skill.

## Core contract

- Treat the human as the judge. Select, summarize, organize, and compile
  evidence; never turn an agent suggestion into a human label.
- Preserve durable Kitaru state. Re-read existing objects before creating
  replacements, and carry exact agent, import, insight, session, investigation,
  investigation-session, annotation, cohort-version, evaluator, and
  evaluator-version identifiers plus evaluator agent scope forward.
- Separate observed behavior from desired behavior. A trace records what
  happened, not what should have happened or whether the external outcome was
  correct.
- Distinguish agent behavior, external dependency behavior, product purpose,
  and independent outcome evidence.
- Use open observations before proposing a taxonomy. Deterministic signals may
  select sessions; they do not judge them.
- Explain remote writes and paid or live execution before running them. Ask for
…
