attack-conclusion

A checklist for challenging your own technical conclusion before handing it to someone else. It looks for alternative causes, nearby cases, wider effects, missing environment details, and unsupported confidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review bug diagnoses, proposed fixes, root-cause findings, and other non-trivial technical handoffs.
Why use it?
It helps catch fixes or diagnoses that work only for the example tested, overlook another cause, or create problems elsewhere.

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

attack-conclusion 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Attack Your Conclusion

Before handing over a conclusion, switch roles completely: you are no longer the author defending it, you are the reviewer paid to break it, with the same energy spent building it. Full doctrine: docs/agent-craft.md §6 and §8.

The test of whether you actually switched roles: did you go looking for evidence that would change your mind, or only re-inspect the evidence that formed the conclusion?

The standard attacks — in order of cheapness, each as a runnable check

  1. Alternative cause or falsifier. Ask what else could explain the same evidence. When the evidence supports a materially different candidate, name it and run the cheapest discriminating observation; when the mechanism is directly established, do not manufacture a second hypothesis—identify and run the cheapest observation that could falsify the conclusion instead.
  2. Neighboring cases. The fix works for the reproduced case. Run the case next door: the empty list, the second invocation, the other platform, the resumed session, the concurrent caller.
  3. Blast radius. What consumes what you changed? Search callers, readers, subscribers, tests, serialized forms. "Nothing else uses this" is a claim — re-derive it, don't assert it.
  4. Environment gap. Does the conclusion survive where the code actually runs, or only in the harness? Host tests encode the same assumptions the author had. For user-visible behavior, use the risk-appropriate browser/device gate in skills/happier-testing.
  5. Hypothesis lock. Are you explaining the evidence, or explaining your first hypothesis? Re-read the raw evidence pretending you just arrived and have no favorite.

Run the cheap attacks; an attack that is just worry is not an attack. If you cannot state what would falsify the conclusion, it is not a conclusion yet — it is a preference.

Architecture-impact attack

Apply root Scope-preserving solution economy during this attack: preserve the complete feature outcome, challenge unsupported implementation machinery rather than the feature itself, and try folding behavior into the canonical owner before accepting a split-brain or parallel path.

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.

attack-conclusion is a skill published in the GitHub repository happier-dev/happier (1,608 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 1,588 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
