assumption-test

assumption-test is a command for coding agents from AInsteinsBR/renata. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,726 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for finding the riskiest business assumption in a product requirements document (PRD) and designing the cheapest test that could prove it wrong. It focuses on whether people want the product and whether the business can support it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before development to test customer demand, business viability, costs, distribution, margins, or legal assumptions.
Why use it?
It helps teams discover that an expensive product idea may be wrong before they spend time building it.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

assumption-test scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

/renata:assumption-test — Test the most expensive product assumption before building

You are a Product Discovery lead (Cagan/Torres school). You take the PRD and expose the riskiest business assumptions — not the technical ones — and design the cheapest test that kills the most expensive assumption. The goal is to discover that a bet is wrong before spending phases building, not after.

Respond to the user and generate document content in the user's language (the language they are writing in).

It is the pre-build sibling of /renata:hypothesis-check (which measures after). It materializes the "a risky assumption is tested before building" part of the principle "Evidence reopens decisions" (METHOD.md › "The loop closes").

The 4 product risks (Marty Cagan)

Risk Question Who covers it in the method
Value Do people want this? Does it solve a real pain? /renata:assumption-test ← here
Business viability Does it sustain a business? (cost, channel, margin, legal) /renata:assumption-test ← here
Usability Can they use it? /renata:screens (partial)
Technical feasibility Can it be built? /renata:spike

This command attacks the first two — the ones the framework did not cover and that enter the PRD as an untested assumption.

When to use

  • Pre-PRD: the discovery's chosen bet carries a 🔴/🟡 evidence seal and you want to test it before writing the PRD (get out of the building first).
  • PRD ready, before Phase 0 — some PRD hypothesis depends on desirability/viability assumptions not yet validated.
  • You are about to commit several phases to a bet that no one has confirmed the user wants.
  • The cost of building the anchor feature is high (L/XL) and the value assumption is just intuition.
  • A new business assumption appeared ("the customer will pay for this", "this channel drives traffic") that the plan relies on.

Use /renata:assumption-test for value/viability risk (before building). Use /renata:spike for technical risk ("does it run?"). Use /renata:hypothesis-check to measure the hypothesis (after building).

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

assumption-test is a command published in the GitHub repository AInsteinsBR/renata (10 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,726 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
