assess-system-boundary

Purpose

Define and challenge which actors, processes, externalities, timescales, and values are inside or outside a system boundary.

Input contract

required: [target_system, boundary_candidate]
optional: [actors, processes, externalities, time_horizon, value_assumptions]
constraints: [every inclusion and exclusion must be explicit]

Procedure

  1. Inventory actors, processes, externalities, and timescales.
  2. Mark each item inside, outside, or contested under the candidate boundary.
  3. Generate boundary alternatives and compare consequences for the research question.

Output contract

produces: [system_boundary, inclusion_exclusion_register, boundary_alternatives, consequence_map]
delta_fields: [findings, assumption_updates, uncertainties, decisions]

Quality gates

  • Boundary is reproducible from the register; contested items and value assumptions remain visible.

Failure and counterexamples

Reject a boundary that hides material externalities or treats excluded stakeholders as irrelevant.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
