Turn a failure into ranked hypotheses — and say what would confirm each one.

Name

awprism — Turn a failure into ranked hypotheses — and say what would confirm each one.

The problem it solves

Debugging with an agent collapses onto the first plausible story, because nothing forces a second. The cost is not the wrong guess, it is the hours spent proving it — measured repeatedly here, where five hypotheses were spent on a service that was genuinely correct, and where a symptom named the wrong component so consistently that "the symptom names the INNOCENT service" had to be written down as a standing rule.

Instead of trusting / you check

instead of trusting
the first explanation that fits
you check
the ranked alternatives, and the observation that separates them

Adopt it alone

Hand it a failure and get back ranked candidate causes, each with the one observation that would rule it in or out.

Install

pip install awprism

One estate, 8 doors

These projects are organs of the same system — the same identity plane, the same agent runtime, the same operational discipline. Follow any of them.

The ecosystem this belongs to

Every Aitherium repository publishes an aither-manifest.json beside its page, and each surface reads all of them — so the network is browsable from any node in it.
