boundary-analysis

boundary-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine. It costs 42 tokens per session (792 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A broad analysis workflow for finding where methods fail, how robust they are, and where their performance stops scaling. It can examine valid ranges, cross-method agreement, failure modes, system boundaries, and scaling limits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate model or method reliability, distribution shifts, adversarial cases, capacity limits, and conditions of safe use.
Why use it?
It prevents results from being treated as universally reliable when they only work under certain conditions. It organises different kinds of robustness and failure checks.

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

boundary-analysis 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 9d 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 — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Boundary Analysis

Probe where methods fail — validity envelopes, robustness, failure modes, scaling limits.

Design Philosophy

This campaign is a strategy book — CC reads, internalizes, and autonomously constructs an approach. The SKILL.md files are textbooks, not scripts.

Strategy Routing

Signal Strategy
Valid conditions, applicability range, multi-axis variation, degradation curves → validity-envelope-mapping
Cross-method consistency, multi-model convergence, Wimsatt robustness → robustness-testing
System boundaries, inclusion/exclusion, CSH critique → boundary-critique
Failure modes, boundary inputs, distribution shift, adversarial → failure-mode-analysis
Scaling limits, scaling law, behavioral phase transitions, capacity → scaling-frontier

Available Tactics

  • multi-model-convergence — Wimsatt-style cross-validation
  • systematic-perturbation — multi-axis validity probing
  • failure-mode-cataloging — systematic failure taxonomy

Available SOPs

Import (5): web-search, web-research, paper-overview, paper-search, paper-research

Subagent (11): assumption-enumeration, alternative-model-generation, convergence-assessment, fragility-flagging, variation-axis-definition, controlled-perturbation, validity-envelope-construction, edge-case-generation, failure-clustering, scaling-regime-detection, boundary-synthesis

Shared (1): evidence-synthesis

Context Management

context-checkpoint after each strategy completes.

Available Strategies

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

Strategy When to use
boundary-critique Apply CSH boundary critique — what is included/excluded, who benefits/is harmed, what expertise is privileged/marginalized. Identifies opportunities at the boundaries.
deep-insight-validity-envelope-mapping Map multi-dimensional validity envelopes — define variation axes, perturb systematically, measure degradation, construct boundary surface.
failure-mode-analysis Systematically catalog failure modes — generate edge cases, observe failures, cluster by mechanism, identify triggers and frequency.
robustness-testing Test conclusion robustness via multi-model convergence — enumerate assumptions, generate alternatives, compare results, flag fragile conclusions.
scaling-frontier Analyze behavior across scales — detect regime changes, identify capacity limits, fit scaling laws within regimes.

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.

boundary-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine (462 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 792 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
