Find the route to guaranteed failure, negate it. Use when a goal keeps not being reached head-on.

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.

1. Ask: what would make this goal certain to fail? List the fewest actions that guarantee it — things being done or skipped today count double. Prefer the certain small saboteur over the dramatic unlikely one.
2. Negate each into one imperative line: a thing to do or a thing to stop.
3. Cut any line that is a risk to watch rather than an action to take — a risk list is the inversion failing, not the route arriving.

The negated list is the route. Hand it back as short bullets, one imperative per line, and stop there: nothing else rides along.

The goal hasn't been tried head-on yet and no route is being chosen → do the work. The failing is the execution, not the route → own it and fix it. A list of what could go wrong is what's wanted → give the list plainly; that list is itself the answer.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add saadshahd/moo.md/inversion@sha256:ed3d2d7e14ff7a0f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.adc0f96, 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.
