bound SKILL.md skillA

bound from jongwony/epistemic-protocols is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add jongwony/epistemic-protocols/bound@git:20261102.570c41d

Pins git:20261102.570c41d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when what a task needs decided is not yet visible — which decisions it turns on, what to keep or entrust, and with whom — before work proceeds on that undrawn boundary; not where the direction a source gives already settles it, or nothing would await the user. The user can then see each decision, what rests on it, its cost if wrong, what settled it, and what stays open and with whom.

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

# Horismos Protocol

Define epistemic boundaries through a recognizable whole map and progressive examination. Type: `(BoundaryUndefined, AI, DEFINE, TaskScope) → DefinedBoundary`.

## Definition

- **Horismos** (ὁρισμός) takes a task whose boundary is undefined, including one whose decision structure or sufficient depth of examination is not yet recognizable, and produces a source-grounded boundary with its residual — what is still open.
- Before asking the user what to settle or entrust, construct the relevant whole provisional map of decisions, obligations, assumptions, and dependencies. A settled goal and a user-supplied inventory are not prerequisites. Bound this whole to the current context and show what remains unknown.
- Let the user open any axis, see the concrete content and consequences needed to judge it, correct the map, and entrust at the depth they find sufficient. The map remains the object of judgment; opening an axis does not require visiting every other one.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jongwony/epistemic-protocols/bound@sha256:b3805de81e3dbc8b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.570c41d, 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.
