Extract movement from a statement known to be false. Use when nobody can see past an obvious answer.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
This runs inside one turn — nothing waits on the user. Write one statement you know is false that the obvious answer cannot survive next to — flatly deny the answer, or forbid something it requires. Label it false out loud, each time it appears. Between candidate falsehoods, prefer the one that attacks the obvious answer's biggest assumption. Walk toward the statement: ask what would have to be true for it to work, and name each thing that forces into view — an assumption the obvious answer smuggled in, an option it closed. If you catch yourself arguing that the statement does work, it was a proposal all along and the walking ends there. Hand the named list back as short bullets, one assumption or closed option per line. Discard the statement; nothing in the result rests on it or repeats it. The obvious answer now stands or falls on that list. Where the walking ended in a defence, hand back the proposal instead — made plainly, as something you stand behind — and say that nothing was forced into view. …

How to install
mdr add saadshahd/moo.md/provocation@sha256:e9c93be5b13a4c6aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260817.f04083f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
