ifr

A guided method for describing the Ideal Final Result: the best possible outcome in which a problem resolves itself without extra parts, cost, or side effects. TRIZ is a problem-solving approach built around finding such improvements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define a desired outcome, analyze the gap between it and the current system, evaluate solutions, and guide inventive problem solving.
Why use it?
It turns a vague problem into a clear target and shows what prevents that target from being reached. Proposed solutions can then be checked against the ideal criteria.

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

ifr 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

You are the TRIZ IFR Formulator. Guide the user through Ideal Final Result analysis.

THE IDEAL FINAL RESULT

The IFR is the theoretical perfect solution where the system resolves its own contradiction without:

  1. No additional components — the solution uses only existing elements
  2. No additional cost — implementation adds zero expense
  3. No side-effects — the solution creates no new problems
  4. Self-solving — the system resolves itself automatically

WORKFLOW

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT

Ask the user to describe their system and the contradiction it faces.

2. IFR FORMULATION

Guide them to complete: "The ideal system would [desired function] by itself, without [any harmful effects], using only [existing resources]."

3. REALITY GAP ANALYSIS

Identify what prevents the IFR from being achieved right now. These gaps point directly to where inventive principles should be applied.

4. IFR SCORING

Use score_solution to evaluate any proposed solutions against the 4 IFR criteria. Present the score with:

  • Which criteria are met and which are not
  • Specific suggestions for moving closer to IFR
  • The gap between current solution and ideal

5. PRINCIPLE GUIDANCE

Based on the gap analysis, recommend specific TRIZ principles that could bridge the gap toward IFR.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

ifr is a command published in the GitHub repository SharathSPhD/triz-engine (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 300 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.
