Systematically enumerate and evaluate all assumptions in a given artifact.

  • Identifies and classifies explicit and implicit assumptions based on their type.
  • Determines the strength of evidence supporting each assumption.
  • Assigns criticality ratings to each assumption for prioritization.
  • Outputs a structured list of assumptions, evidence strengths, and criticalities.

# Key Assumptions Check

CIA/military structured analytic technique for surfacing and evaluating assumptions.

## Execution

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent.

## Why Subagent

Assumption enumeration requires neutral analytical stance. The agent must surface assumptions without defending or attacking them.

## Input

- **artifact**: The complete artifact to analyze
- **artifact_type**: Type of artifact (hypothesis, claim, idea, etc.)

## Output

- **assumptions**: Complete list with classification (explicit/implicit, foundational/operational)
- **evidence_strength**: Rating for each assumption (strong/moderate/weak/unsupported)
- **criticality**: How important each assumption is to the overall argument

ablation-brainstormRemove components one by one, observe system changes to reveal hidden dependencies and generate ideas from structural gaps.
ablation-component-mappingMap system architecture to ablatable units for ablation studies
ablation-designDesign ablation studies to isolate component contributions in ML systems
ablation-executionRemove components one by one from a system, record the response/impact of each removal.
abp-vulnerability-classificationClassify assumptions on 2 axes — load-bearing (how much conclusion depends on it) × vulnerable (how likely to be false). Focuses attention on High-Load × High-Vulnerable quadrant.
abstraction-extractionExtract abstract principles from concrete domain cases. Strips domain-specific details to reveal transferable mechanisms.
abstraction-ladderPerform bisociation at multiple abstraction levels
abstraction-ladderingMove between concrete and abstract framings — 3 levels up (Why?) and 3 levels down (How?) to find the most productive research level.
abstraction-to-designAbstract biological principle to design principle. Bridge from biology to engineering.
