seeding-doubts

seeding-doubts is a skill for Claude Code from HiAgencia/hi-claude. It costs 137 tokens per session (823 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review method that generates additional questions when work stalls, something seems wrong, or a large task has just finished. An inverse pre-mortem asks what may have been missed after apparent success.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps list unresolved doubts and ask separate reviewer agents to produce more doubts from methodological, auditing, and end-user perspectives.
Why use it?
It helps expose overlooked anomalies, weak assumptions, data problems, and missing user-facing details before they become larger issues.

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

seeding-doubts 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 12d 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.

Seeding doubts (hi-claude)

There is no "it can't be done" — there is an angle not tried yet. This protocol manufactures the angle.

When it runs

  • A quality stall: "something is wrong and I don't know what".
  • Right after closing a big block, as an inverse pre-mortem: what did we NOT look at?
  • Periodically, even when nothing looks wrong — especially then.

The five steps

  1. Sequential introspection. Everything that caught your attention and was never chased: anomalies seen in passing, hunches, odd repeated numbers, doc↔code contradictions, things that "are surely fine". One thought = one doubt with its why. Forbidden to resolve: only formulate.

  2. Seed three subagents with DISTINCT TONES. Each receives the seeds "under the speculation that something catches my eye", and its deliverable is MORE DOUBTS, never answers. Tones that work:

    • the HOSTILE METHODOLOGIST — method, overfitting, baselines, what the sample cannot support
    • the PARANOID AUDITOR — the data pipeline, "what if the cache photographed garbage?"
    • the END USER — the product, what is missing, the honesty of the track record

    Distinct tones matter more than more agents: three copies of the same lens find the same thing. They are read-only and what they bring is a hypothesis — verify it first-hand before acting.

  3. Distil. Merge yours with theirs into one list ordered by damage×cost, in blocks: whatever touches what is ALREADY published or shipped comes first. Each item is a pending MEASUREMENT, never a conclusion. Persist them in docs/ROADMAP.md.

  4. Validate the checkable ones IMMEDIATELY. Anything answerable with a real query, payload, or file gets verified on the spot. Confirmed → fix, with the evidence. Refuted → struck out WITH the datum that refuted it. A doubt refuted with data is worth as much as a confirmed one, and it stops the same doubt from coming back next month.

  5. The rest becomes a measurement. Nothing is adopted or discarded without its method.

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.
