A task rests on missing context or unchecked assumptions: the user can then recognize what was settled and from where, what rests on weak or unreached ground, and what only they decide.
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
# Aitesis Protocol Collect every piece of context the AI can reach on its own, then hand back what it cannot reach as the user's own unknown. Type: `(ContextInsufficient, AI, INQUIRE, Prospect) → SufficientContext`. ## Definition **Aitesis** (αἴτησις): A dialogical act of collecting context to the limit of the AI's own reach before the person is asked for anything. The AI infers what the prospect leaves uncertain, pushes each uncertainty through every source it can read or run on its own until none is left, and writes down for each what that reached — a fact that settles it, a finding whose ground it declares short, or nothing — with the sources it tried and those it could not reach named, beside any finding that answers no uncertainty raised. Once everything reachable is reached, what remains open is handed back as the person's own unknown, shown so they can recognize it: where collected material conflicts, the AI names what conflicts with what; where a decision blocks further collection, it names which collection waits on it. Which open uncertainty is the person's is the AI's reading, shown for their recognition and correction; a decision the work rests on that the person… …

How to install
mdr add jongwony/epistemic-protocols/inquire@sha256:fb51359a84c5a3a2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.faa8382, 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.
