Find how a rollout plan could fail before committing to it. Use when: asked what could go wrong or to poke holes in a plan.

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

# Premortem

Premortem is an optional plan-challenge strategy. It asks one fresh context to
identify concrete ways the resolved bead or caller intent could fail before implementation.
It is not part of the required RPI sequence and does not authorize readiness.
[Plan's shared challenge method](../plan/references/challenge.md) owns optional
exchange, dispatch and stopping rules; when no fresh context can be started,
step 2's labelled self-judged fallback replaces its no-stand-in rule here.
Premortem owns the three checks below. Neighbours: general advice is
[Review](../review/SKILL.md), acceptance of a finished change is
[Validate](../validate/SKILL.md), and several independent views are
[Council](../council/SKILL.md).

Run the checks in this order and report findings in the same order: a finding
from the first or second check outranks any single technical risk the third
check constructs.

## The first check: who verifies, and are they fresh?

Test the plan's evidence shape before any technical risk: for every unit of
work, who verifies it, and is the verifying context distinct from the one that
authored it? CI and existing deterministic checks the author did not write
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add boshu2/agentops/premortem@sha256:d8ef9ee6774acfc0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.73cbeae, 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.
