Key Assumptions Check
CIA/military structured analytic technique for surfacing and evaluating assumptions.
Execution
Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent.
Why Subagent
Assumption enumeration requires neutral analytical stance. The agent must surface assumptions without defending or attacking them.
Input
- artifact: The complete artifact to analyze
- artifact_type: Type of artifact (hypothesis, claim, idea, etc.)
Output
- assumptions: Complete list with classification (explicit/implicit, foundational/operational)
- evidence_strength: Rating for each assumption (strong/moderate/weak/unsupported)
- criticality: How important each assumption is to the overall argument
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| spawn-agent | Spawn a customized CC subagent with full MCP tool access. Used by SOPs that declare execution: subagent. |
