Pre-mortem analysis that imagines a plan has failed, then works backward to identify causes and preventions. Use before launches, major decisions, or risky initiatives to surface hidden risks.
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.

# Pre-Mortem Analysis Imagine the plan has completely failed, then work backward to identify what went wrong and how to prevent it. ## Instructions Set the scene: "It's [timeframe] in the future. This initiative was a complete disaster. Looking back, what happened?" Generate failure scenarios without filtering for likelihood—get everything on the table first, then prioritize. ### Output Format **The Plan** Summarize what's being attempted and the success criteria. **Time Jump** "It's [X months] later. This has failed completely. The outcome: [describe the disaster vividly]." **What Went Wrong** Generate 8-12 plausible failure causes across categories: | Category | Failure Mode | How It Played Out | |----------|--------------|-------------------| | Execution | [What failed] | [The story of how] | | External | [What failed] | [The story of how] | | People | [What failed] | [The story of how] | | Technical | [What failed] | [The story of how] | | Assumptions | [What failed] | [The story of how] | **Risk Prioritization** | Failure Mode | Likelihood | Impact | Priority | |--------------|------------|--------|----------| | ... | High/Med/Low | High/Med/Low | 1-5 | …

How to install
mdr add maxmiksa/auto-company/premortem@sha256:dd0537f153322641The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20250919.bc6708f, 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.
