epistemic-protocols

Epistemic Protocols inserts structured checkpoints across planning, analysis, decision, execution, verification, and comprehension to surface misalignment between you and AI before it hardens into code or downstream work. The skill spans 14 protocols—including Aitesis for clarifying unstated needs, Prosoche for execution guardrails, Anamnesis for session recall, and Katalepsis for comprehension verification—each triggered by a slash command when specific collaboration problems arise. Rather than redoing entire implementations after discovering wrong direction, these protocols fix misalignment at the plan level where a single conversation turn can resolve what might otherwise cost hours of rework. Teams benefit by identifying blind spots early, keeping AI and human intent aligned throughout complex projects.

[{"step":"Install the epistemic-protocols plugin in Claude Code by running `claude plugins install epistemic-protocols` in your terminal.","tip":"Ensure you have the latest version of Claude Code (v1.4+) for full plugin compatibility."},{"step":"Prepare your prompt by specifying the team, project, and topic. Use the prompt template to structure the dialogue around uncovering assumptions.","tip":"For complex projects, break the topic into smaller sub-topics (e.g., 'user adoption,' 'technical feasibility') to focus the dialogue."},{"step":"Run the dialogue in a collaborative session with your team. Share the output table in real-time using Claude's multi-user mode or export it to Notion/Google Docs.","tip":"Encourage team members to challenge assumptions by asking 'What would convince you this assumption is wrong?' during the session."},{"step":"Schedule a follow-up review 1-2 weeks after the initial dialogue to revisit the 'Next Experiment' column and track progress.","tip":"Use the plugin's 'export' feature to generate a Markdown report for stakeholder updates."},{"step":"Iterate: Repeat the process for new blind spots or after major project milestones.","tip":"Combine with the 'risk-assessment' plugin to prioritize blind spots based on impact and likelihood."}]
