Use when a hypothesis has failed and needs archiving with resurrection conditions, when reviewing dormant ideas for revival, or when a killed strategy resembles the current one.

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

# Emergent Resurrection — negative-knowledge archive

> **Self-Evolving Skill**: If the failure taxonomy misses a mode, or a resurrection trigger type recurs, update the relevant section AND append to `references/evolution-log.md`. Don't defer.

Failed hypotheses are not waste. They are negative knowledge that:

1. Documents the investigation's boundaries
2. Prevents re-exploring known dead ends
3. Can come back when conditions change

This skill is the genetic-evolutionary mechanism for "**don't rule out anything we have tried, as long as it can emerge through iterative process**".

---

## Why NOT just delete failed ideas

The session accumulated 17 null campaigns. Without negative-knowledge capture, we would:

- Re-explore the same dead ends in future sessions (wasted compute)
- Lose the meta-lesson each failure taught (wrong null, wrong scaling, wrong scope)
- Be unable to detect when conditions have shifted enough to retry

Failed attempts are cheaper to preserve than to re-run.

---

## Failure-mode taxonomy

Each failed campaign fits one or more modes. Classification determines resurrection conditions.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/crucible-emergent-resurrection@sha256:0ddafc1ad2891eae

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.4c83439, 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.
