pre-mortem skillA

pre-mortem is agent-read markdown (skill) from broomva/skills: Assumes a project has already failed, works backward to identify the top causes, scores them by likelihood and impact, and outputs a mitigation plan. Use when starting a new project, before a major launch, evaluating risky decisions, or when the user says "pre-mortem", "what could go wrong", "risk analysis", "failure modes", "red team this plan"..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add broomva/skills/pre-mortem@git:20260628.9edbf07
Exact content
mdr add broomva/skills/pre-mortem@sha256:f02e3cfe00490ea7

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
