What Reduced-Space Test does

Reduced-Space Test validates an uncertain claim in a bounded stand-in space, then reports what holds, fails, or stays inconclusive under those conditions. It also carries the untested remainder forward for follow-up.

Reduced-Space Test is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Reduced-Space Test comes from a repository tagged ai-collaboration, claude-code, epistemology, metacognition and plugin.

Excerpt

Reduced-Space Test: Scoped Empirical Validation

Validate an inference-uncertain proposition inside a constraint-bounded stand-in space synchronized with the user, obtain a scoped resolution ("within these conditions, whether it holds, fails, or remains inconclusive"), and carry the uncovered complement forward to a follow-up protocol. This skill does not run the experiment substrate, open branches, or create PRs. It orchestrates existing protocols around one disciplined empirical move.

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