Alice Explain Provenance

Goal

Provide evidence-backed explanations for Alice-based answers.

Trigger Cues

Use this skill when the user asks:

• why are you saying this
• what source supports this
• can you show evidence or provenance

Required MCP Tools

• mcp_<alice_server>_alice_context_pack
• Optional: mcp_<alice_server>_alice_recall

<alice_server> is usually alice_core.

Workflow

1. Start from alice_context_pack for a scoped evidence set.
2. If needed, run a focused alice_recall query for missing evidence.
3. Explain answer claims by citing returned continuity object IDs and provenance fields.
4. If provenance is thin, state uncertainty and propose the next validating step.

Tool Call Templates

mcp_alice_core_alice_context_pack({"thread_id":"<uuid>","recent_decisions_limit":5,"recent_changes_limit":5,"open_loops_limit":5})

mcp_alice_core_alice_recall({"thread_id":"<uuid>","query":"<claim>","limit":5})

Output Contract

Always include:

• claim
• supporting object IDs
• provenance summary from returned records
• confidence posture (high, medium, low) based on evidence quality
