Assess whether the problem is tame, complex, or wicked by examining stakeholder disagreement, moving boundaries, feedback, value conflict, and absence of a stable stopping rule.
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
# assess-problem-wickedness ## Purpose Assess whether a problem is tame, complex, or wicked using disagreement, moving boundaries, feedback, value conflict, and stopping-rule evidence. ## Input contract ```yaml required: [problem_statement, stakeholder_views] optional: [boundary_history, feedback_observations, candidate_stopping_rule] constraints: [classification must cite observed disagreement or stability indicators] ``` ## Procedure 1. Compare stakeholder definitions and desired outcomes. 2. Check boundary movement, feedback loops, and value conflicts. 3. Assess whether a stable stopping rule and agreed solution test exist. 4. Assign tame, complex, or wicked with evidence and uncertainty. ## Output contract ```yaml produces: [wickedness_assessment, evidence_basis, workflow_implications] delta_fields: [findings, uncertainties, decisions, open_questions] ``` ## Quality gates - Classification covers all five dimensions; disagreement is distinguished from missing information. ## Failure and counterexamples Do not label a problem wicked solely because it is difficult or interdisciplinary. ## Provenance map - `deep-insight/wickedness-assessment`: resolved.

How to install
mdr add yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/assess-problem-wickedness@sha256:84b975b41e8c1bebThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.cbc38aa, 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.
