analyze_design
Find failure precedents for a design
Profile a proposed feature, system or AI-agent workflow and return documented incidents from systems that behaved similarly, their failure patterns, and the safeguards to build in. Use before writing code for anything that moves money, deletes data, changes permissions, runs code, or acts on external content.
Parametersproposalrequiredmax_results
analyze_existing_app
Find failure precedents for an existing app
Analyze an existing app using observed behavior, README, architecture notes, configuration or source snippets. Provide a public GitHub repository_url to import selected context, or inspect a private repository locally and submit relevant text. Code is never executed and the running app is not scanned. Returns source context, behavior signals, historical precedents and safeguards to verify.

Takes no parameters.

Get agent rules for a design
Return ready-to-save rules (AGENTS.md by default; also CLAUDE.md, Cursor rule or Copilot instructions) for a proposed design, each rule citing the incidents behind it.
