Generates plausible failure scenarios using the Klein pre-mortem protocol

  • Identifies risks by imagining a project has already failed
  • Uses subagent execution to isolate failure-focused analysis
  • Analyzes input artifact type and budget to tailor scenario depth
  • Returns ranked failure narratives for proactive mitigation

# Pre-Mortem Facilitation

Executes the Klein (2007) pre-mortem protocol to generate failure scenarios.

## Execution

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent.

## Why Subagent

Pre-mortem requires adopting a specific temporal frame (future failure as fact). Isolated context prevents contamination from optimistic bias.

## Input

- **artifact**: The artifact to analyze
- **artifact_type**: Type classification for tailored prompting
- **budget**: S/M/L controlling scenario count

## Output

- **scenarios**: List of plausible failure scenarios with narrative descriptions
- **plausibility_ranking**: Ordered by perceived likelihood

ablation-brainstormRemove components one by one, observe system changes to reveal hidden dependencies and generate ideas from structural gaps.
ablation-component-mappingMap system architecture to ablatable units for ablation studies
ablation-designDesign ablation studies to isolate component contributions in ML systems
ablation-executionRemove components one by one from a system, record the response/impact of each removal.
abp-vulnerability-classificationClassify assumptions on 2 axes — load-bearing (how much conclusion depends on it) × vulnerable (how likely to be false). Focuses attention on High-Load × High-Vulnerable quadrant.
abstraction-extractionExtract abstract principles from concrete domain cases. Strips domain-specific details to reveal transferable mechanisms.
abstraction-ladderPerform bisociation at multiple abstraction levels
abstraction-ladderingMove between concrete and abstract framings — 3 levels up (Why?) and 3 levels down (How?) to find the most productive research level.
abstraction-to-designAbstract biological principle to design principle. Bridge from biology to engineering.
