Something feels off and the user cannot name what is stuck: the user can then say what it is — a shown candidate, their own words, or none shown — having seen what each rests on and what rules it out.
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
# Probe Skill Resolve a sense that something is off, before the person can name what is stuck, into a situation they recognize, through grounded candidates for what is stuck. Type: `(DeficitUnrecognized, AI, RECOGNIZE, UserSituation) → RecognizedSituation`. ## Definition **Probe** (ἐπίγνωσις, *epígnōsis*: knowing-upon, recognition of what was already there): A dialogical act of turning a person's sense that something is off into a situation they recognize. AI reads the present situation and the descriptions of the other installed skills, and shows the candidates the ground carries for what is stuck, at least two where it carries them — each a description of the situation resting on turns of it that it cites, with the condition that would rule it out, the installed skill that takes it where one does, and that skill's declared end where its description declares one. The person takes one shown candidate, puts the situation in their own words, or says none shown is theirs; that recognition is what the run yields, and no score, ranking, or reading of the AI's makes it. Where the ground carries only one, AI shows that one and says it carries no second rather than inventing one; where …

How to install
mdr add jongwony/epistemic-protocols/probe@sha256:957b7cfe8870b268The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.adad904, 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.
