Produces a veiled-decision comparison that decides a values trade-off as if the decider had an equal chance of being any affected party, under an explicit decision rule, then returns to the positioned decision and names the gap that self-interest was silently driving. Use when a decision distributes benefit and burden across parties, the decider is one of those parties, and the risk is a self-serving call dressed as fairness. Not a neutral verdict, not forecasting, and not for cases where…
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.

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-veil-of-ignorance-reasoning@sha256:cd094ceba1dadfdeThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
