Use when reviewing a diff or module for hidden assumptions - things the code takes for granted that nothing guarantees - or when asked "what could break this later", "what does this assume", or to harden code that works today. Complements bug-hunt: bug-hunt finds defects with triggers today; this finds the ones waiting for tomorrow.
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
# latent-premises An unguarded premise is an undeclared allergen. The dish is fine for most diners, every night, until the wrong one orders it, and nothing on the menu warned anybody. Code carries the same hazard: a premise that holds on every input the system produces today, enforced by nothing, documented nowhere, that fails silently the day the premise breaks. **Core principle:** a premise is only a finding when it is genuinely unenforced AND you can name what concretely breaks when it fails. Enforced premises are fine. Consequences you cannot name are hypotheses, not findings. **Read-only.** This is a review lens. Fixing is a separate engagement. ## The taxonomy Hunt in five categories. Each finding gets exactly one. | Category | The code assumes | Examples | |----------|------------------|----------| | input | boundary or external data is well-formed, with nothing upstream guaranteeing it | a non-empty array (`[0]`), an existing key, a successful parse, a non-null string, an in-range number | …

How to install
mdr add escoffier-labs/brigade/latent-premises@sha256:a2104443bf21f59cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260712.7784bda, 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.
