'Tactic: Surface assumptions, sort by dependency, attack root assumptions.

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

# Assumption Cascade Tactic

Attack assumptions at their roots and trace how failures propagate through dependency chains.

## Orchestration

1. **key-assumptions-check** surfaces all assumptions (explicit and implicit)
2. **assumption-cascade-tracer** builds dependency graph (which assumptions depend on which)
3. Root assumptions identified (those with no upstream dependencies)
4. **devils-advocacy** constructs strongest attack against each root assumption
5. **probe-execution** tests root assumptions — if root fails, trace downstream cascade
6. **assumption-cascade-tracer** maps full cascade: which conclusions collapse if root fails
7. **finding-aggregation** reports cascade paths and total impact scope

## Subagents Dispatched

- key-assumptions-check (1 call for enumeration)
- assumption-cascade-tracer (2 calls: dependency build + cascade trace)
- devils-advocacy (1 call per root assumption)
- probe-execution (1 call per root attack)
- finding-aggregation (1 call at end)

## Termination Conditions

- All root assumptions tested (budget permitting)
- Cascade found that invalidates >50% of conclusions (critical finding)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/assumption-cascade@sha256:465f81fff0c5c139

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260616.b2b0cde, 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.
