agent-decision-receipts
Mint a tamper-evident, post-quantum-signed receipt for a consequential agent action (deploy, delete, pay, grant-access, model decision) so it can be verified later from the certificate alone. Use when an autonomous agent takes a side-effecting action that may need to be proven later, or when satisfying EU AI Act Article 12 record-keeping. Three decisions: whether an action needs a receipt, minting it, verifying it. Signing is delegated to the open-source OpenAgentOntology package. Not after-the-fact log analysis; not a hosted notary; not a legal opinion.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Agent Decision Receipts ## Overview A log says an action happened. A **receipt is tamper-evident**: it records who, what, and under which policy, and it is signed, so any later edit breaks the signature. This skill mints one for a consequential agent action and verifies it later from the certificate alone: no database, no network, no trusting the issuer. The crypto is not in this skill. It is the open-source **OpenAgentOntology** receipt primitive (Apache-2.0), which signs every receipt with Ed25519 **and** the post-quantum legs ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204) + SLH-DSA (FIPS 205) when the post-quantum backend is installed. This skill is the decision layer: when to mint, what to put in, how to verify. One install, no per-skill crypto. **Three decisions, nothing else:** 1. **Does this action need a receipt?** — side-effecting + consequential + later-provable = yes. 2. **Mint the receipt** — build the action manifest, sign it with the OAO primitive. 3. **Verify it** — recompute the hash, check each signature leg, from the cert alone. This skill is **NOT log analysis.** Logs describe what happened and can be silently edited. A receipt is minted before/at execution and breaks if edited. Use log

Mint a tamper-evident, post-quantum-signed receipt for a consequential agent action (deploy, delete, pay, grant-access, model decision) so it can be verified later from the certificate alone. Use when an autonomous agent takes a side-effecting action that may need to be proven later, or when satisfying EU AI Act Article 12 record-keeping.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill agent-decision-receipts --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From alirezarezvani/claude-skills, a repository with 23,791 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
