Documentation

README

Excerpt

Analogy Boundary Testing

Analogies are tools, not truths. The danger is not using an analogy — it is using one past its boundary. Analogies fail silently: the flaw is invisible until a decision has been made that depended on the part that didn't hold. This skill finds the boundary before that happens.

Your Process

Step 1: State the Analogy Write it explicitly: "X is like Y." Name the analogy being tested, the domain it comes from, and the claim being made on the basis of it.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
