Structured pre-mortem generator that amplifies plausible worst-case scenarios, ranks failure modes, and produces concrete mitigation recommendations.
Fear offers a structured pre-mortem workflow: given a plan or decision, it assumes catastrophic failure, works backwards to enumerate plausible failure modes, ranks them by likelihood and severity, and recommends preventions or mitigations. The output is a ranked failure-mode inventory with clear next steps.
Use Fear before committing resources to a plan that may suffer from optimism bias, when you need a pre-mortem for project planning, or when risk analysis is shallow and you want prioritized, actionable risk items.
Best suited for agents that provide planning and advisory workflows (Hermes/OpenClaw-style agents, planning assistants, decision-support bots).

Arcana (Technical Mechanism Analysis)
Explain how systems, protocols, or architectures actually work under the hood and surface non-obvious implications and failure modes.
History — Temporal Investigation
Performs structured reconstruction of how a system, decision, or codebase arrived at its current state: timelines, key decision points, and contextual analysis
