evidence-verification

Skill4 starsChanged 13 days agoApache-2.0View on GitHub

Use when someone asks you to prove that an architectural claim or requirement actually holds, verify a governance receipt, or export an audit trail. Garuda checks natural-language or ADR statements against the indexed code and returns each claim as supported, unverified or contradicted, with evidence. It validates deterministic receipt hashes and graph fingerprints so a result can be reproduced, verifies RFC 6962 SHA-256 Merkle inclusion proofs, and exports the full decision, policy evaluation and proof bundle for auditors or compliance review. Use it whenever a conclusion must be checkable by someone else rather than taken on trust. Read-only by default.

    How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

06 — Garuda Evidence & Merkle Ledger Verification

Substantiates architectural claims (SUPPORTED, UNVERIFIED, CONTRADICTED) and verifies RFC 6962 SHA-256 Merkle inclusion proofs and governance receipts.

1. Purpose & Triggers

Invoke this skill when the user or coding workflow asks:

  • "Prove whether this architectural requirement is actually satisfied"
  • "Verify the RFC 6962 Merkle receipt and epistemic state for this workspace"
  • "Export the governance audit trail"

2. Required Context

  • workspace: Target Garuda workspace name (default: "default").
  • repo_dir: Repository root path (default: ".").
  • diff / target: Git revision range (e.g. "HEAD") or symbol/package name.

3. Ordered MCP Workflow

  1. garuda.query_claims — Retrieve claims filtered by status (SUPPORTED, UNVERIFIED, CONTRADICTED).
  2. garuda.verify_claim — Verify whether a natural-language or ADR statement holds in the indexed AST.
  3. garuda.verify_receipt — Validate the deterministic receipt_hash and graph_fingerprint.
  4. garuda.audit_export — Export the complete governance decision, policy evaluation, and RFC 6962 Merkle proof bundle.

CLI Fallback (when MCP stdio is not attached):

garuda doctor && garuda check . --json

4. Decision & Epistemic Rules

  • Epistemic States: Always distinguish SUPPORTED (backed by compiler/AST + runtime evidence where required), UNVERIFIED (statically extracted, awaiting runtime trace), and CONTRADICTED (violates ADR, policy, or static boundary).
  • Governance Verdicts: ALLOW (proceed), WARN (proceed with note), REVIEW (requires human architectural review), BLOCK (halt and remediate net-new violation), INCONCLUSIVE (0 entities matched policy scope; never treat as vacuous ALLOW).

5. Output Contract

Format every report using this six-part structure: Finding -> Evidence (file:line & match_method) -> Affected Components (callers & tier) -> Policy / ADR -> Confidence / Status -> Recommended Action

6. Safety & Limitations

  • Read-Only by Default: Public installations run with GARUDA_MCP_READ_ONLY=true. Never invoke mutating tools (garuda.approve_base_rulebook, garuda.decide_logic_variant, garuda.reconcile_data_audit) without explicit human authorization (GARUDA_MCP_APPROVER).
  • Scope Qualification: RFC 6962 Merkle proofs (H_leaf = SHA256(0x00 || data)) establish tamper-evident integrity and inclusion of recorded governance evaluations; they do not replace unit, integration, or dynamic security testing.
