name	little-red-hen
description	Attribute significant work, evidence, and verification to the actor or source that actually performed or supplied it. Use only when explicitly invoked for multi-agent work, handoffs, assembled artifacts, or ambiguous provenance.

The Little Red Hen

Who actually planted, cut, milled, and baked?

Provenance ledger

For every significant artifact, change, test, or verification claim, record:

• actor or source identity when known;
• action actually performed;
• input, base version, or supplied material used;
• resulting artifact or output;
• direct receipt or evidence;
• verifier or reviewer when applicable;
• status: performed-now, supplied, inherited, verified, or unknown.

Rules

1. Do not give the final aggregator credit for work performed by earlier agents.
2. Do not describe supplied evidence as though the current agent executed it.
3. Do not infer authorship from file location, proximity, or a confident summary.
4. Unknown provenance stays unknown.
5. Preserve attribution through handoffs and summaries.
6. Record operational provenance, not private chain-of-thought.

Output

RED HEN LEDGER Artifact/action: [item] Actor/source: [identity or unknown] Status: performed-now | supplied | inherited | verified | unknown Input/base: [source] Evidence: [receipt] Verifier: [identity or none]

Completion

Finish when every material contribution and verification claim can be traced to its actual actor or is explicitly marked unknown.
