yogsoth-ai Assumption Challenge Strategy
Military ACT (Analytic Confidence Testing): systematically surface and attack assumptions underlying the artifact.
Method
- key-assumptions-check enumerates all assumptions (explicit and implicit)
- Assumptions sorted by criticality and evidence strength
- devils-advocacy constructs strongest counter-argument for each critical assumption
- Team A defends assumptions, Team B attacks — structured exchange
- assumption-cascade-tracer maps dependency chains from root assumptions
- Failed assumptions trigger cascade analysis to identify downstream impacts
Budget Table
| Parameter | S | M | L |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attack vectors | 5 | 12 | 20 |
| Probing rounds | 3 | 6 | 10 |
| Personas | 2 | 4 | 6 |
| Assumption checks | 5 | 10 | 20 |
Orchestration
key-assumptions-check → [enumerate and rank assumptions]
→ [for each critical assumption]:
devils-advocacy (construct counter-argument)
→ probe-execution (test assumption)
→ assumption-cascade-tracer (map dependencies)
→ finding-aggregation → attack-resilience-scoring
Subagents
- key-assumptions-check (enumeration and ranking)
- devils-advocacy (counter-argument construction)
- probe-execution (assumption testing)
- assumption-cascade-tracer (dependency mapping)
- finding-aggregation (result synthesis)
Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|---|
| assumption-cascade | Tactic: Surface assumptions, sort by dependency, attack root assumptions first, then trace cascade failures through the dependency graph. |
| structured-attack-campaign | Tactic: Full attack lifecycle — threat surface enumeration, attack vector generation, systematic probing, and finding aggregation across all surfaces. |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| assumption-cascade-tracer | Build assumption dependency graphs and trace cascade failures when root assumptions are invalidated. |
| devils-advocacy | Construct the strongest possible counter-argument against a position, steelmanning the opposition before attacking. |
| finding-aggregation | Aggregate, deduplicate, and classify findings from multiple probes into a coherent vulnerability report. |
| key-assumptions-check | Military ACT: systematically enumerate all assumptions, classify by type, and evaluate evidence strength supporting each. |
| probe-execution | Execute a single attack probe against an artifact, record the result with evidence and severity classification. |
