Test whether a proposed cause/mechanism is necessary and/or sufficient under controlled counterfactual or intervention comparisons.
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
# evaluate-necessity-sufficiency ## Purpose Test whether a proposed cause or mechanism is necessary and/or sufficient under controlled counterfactual or intervention comparisons. ## Input contract ```yaml required: [cause_or_mechanism, outcome, comparison_conditions] optional: [counterfactual_worlds, intervention_data] constraints: [necessary and sufficient tests must be reported separately] ``` ## Procedure 1. Define removal/absence and presence/intervention contrasts. 2. Compare outcomes under held-fixed conditions. 3. Report necessity, sufficiency, confounds, and uncertainty. ## Output contract ```yaml produces: [necessity_result, sufficiency_result, comparison_table, confounds] delta_fields: [findings, evidence_updates, uncertainties, decisions] ``` ## Quality gates - A necessity claim needs an absence/removal comparison; sufficiency needs a presence/intervention comparison. ## Failure and counterexamples Do not infer necessity from correlation or sufficiency from one positive case. ## Provenance map - resolved: causal-necessity-testing

How to install
mdr add yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/evaluate-necessity-sufficiency@sha256:985b22b4d03d9a39The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.cbc38aa, 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.
