Produces an anti-goals register by assuming a design succeeds at scale, narrating the near-future in which that success harms third parties (including non-users) and is exploited in bad faith by named bad actors, then converting each speculated harm into a standing design constraint bound into the requirements. Use when a feature's success case could externalize harm onto people outside the customer relationship (location, ranking, inference, targeting, automation) and the team's risk review…
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
<!-- thinking-framework-skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills | Apache-2.0 --> # Speculative Harms and Anti-Goals Most risk review is project-centric: premortems, risk registers, and launch checklists all ask whether the *plan* survives. They are structurally blind to the harms that arrive precisely when the plan succeeds - when the feature ships, works as designed, and reaches scale, and in doing so externalizes harm onto people who never chose to be users, or hands a weapon to someone who exploits it on purpose. Speculative harms and anti-goals exists to reach those harms. It assumes success, narrates the concrete near-future in which that success hurts people, casts the third-party victims and the bad-faith misuse actors (the stalker, the scammer, the data broker, the abusive ex, the authoritarian buyer), and then converts each speculated harm into an **anti-goal**: a named outcome the design commits to prevent, carried as a standing constraint on what the product must never do, enable, or optimize for. …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-speculative-harms-anti-goals@sha256:e034fda98b1a8073The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
