A review method for finding and testing hidden assumptions in plans, code, architecture, and strategy.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps assess technical, user, business, and team assumptions before committing to a design or technology choice.
Why use 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

assumptions-check 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 3d 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.

Key Assumptions Check

Surface what's being taken for granted. Test it. Break what's fragile before it breaks you.

Core Principle

Every plan, design, and decision rests on assumptions -- most of them invisible. This skill makes them visible, rates their strength, and identifies which ones need evidence or testing before you proceed.

When to Use

Use when an assumptions inventory is the requested deliverable, or a specific unverified assumption warrants this technique. Do not run a separate inventory for every non-trivial decision. Examples within that scope:

  • Before committing to an architecture or technology bet
  • When a plan feels "obviously right" (that's when assumptions hide best)
  • When reviewing code that makes implicit guarantees
  • When someone says "that won't be a problem" without evidence
  • When inherited designs carry forward without re-examination

The Process

Step 1: Extract Assumptions

Read the plan/code/design and list every assumption -- stated or implied.

Look for assumptions in these categories:

Category What to look for
Technical "This library handles X", "The database can handle Y load", "This API is reliable"
User "Users will do X", "Users understand Y", "Users won't do Z"
Business "We have time for X", "The market wants Y", "Competitors won't Z"
Team "We have expertise in X", "We can hire for Y", "This won't need maintenance"
Environment "Infrastructure supports X", "Latency will be under Y", "Data volume won't exceed Z"

Step 2: Rate Each Assumption

Rating Meaning Action
Verified Tested, measured, or proven with data Document the evidence
Confident Strong reasons to believe, but not tested Note the reasoning
Uncertain Could go either way, no strong evidence Needs investigation
Untested Never examined, just accepted Needs immediate testing
Fragile Evidence suggests it might be wrong Challenge now

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.
