System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you determine whether a stated constraint is truly binding or is instead a phantom constraint created by habit, preference, politics, or untested assumptions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Constraint vs. Assumption Classification: Source the constraint and classify it as Hard, Soft, Assumed, or Outdated.
  • Consequence Validation: Distinguish real consequences from vague or social/political pushback.
  • Precedent and Exceptions Checks: Verify whether it has been tested historically and whether any conditions make it inapplicable.
  • Use Case: When a team claims “we can’t do X because of Y,” use this Skill to test Y’s legitimacy before you design around it or accept it as policy.

Quick Start

Run constraint-hardness-testing by stating the constraint exactly as it has been said and asking the Skill to test whether it is genuinely hard.
