challenge-assumption

Purpose

Construct a strong countercase or alternative to an assumption and assess the consequence if it fails.

Input contract

required: [assumption, claim_or_decision, supporting_evidence]
optional: [alternative_worlds, dependency_graph, challenge_mode]
constraints: [separate assumption, countercase, evidence, and impact]

Procedure

  1. State the assumption's role and dependencies in the target claim.
  2. Build the strongest evidence-backed countercase and at least one alternative assumption.
  3. Propagate consequences through dependent claims and identify discriminating observations.
  4. Rate threat severity and confidence using the caller's scale.

Output contract

produces: [countercase, alternative_assumptions, consequence_analysis, discriminating_tests]
delta_fields: [findings, evidence_updates, uncertainties, recommended_jumps]

Quality gates

  • Countercase attacks the assumption's strongest support, not a weak proxy.
  • At least one alternative assumption and one impact path are explicit.
  • Confidence distinguishes empirical threat from theoretical possibility.

Parameterization

Caller supplies assumption schema, evidence standard, challenge mode, consequence model, severity/confidence scales, and test budget.

Failure and counterexamples

Reject a challenge that merely negates the assumption without mechanism or evidence.

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.
