Cognitive Debt Auditor

Ki · Reasoning

The Problem

We've deferred verification of six core assumptions across three sprints, the backlog of unaudited claims keeps growing, but addressing them now would slow delivery, so we'll circle back later.

The Operation

The model is directed to audit the reasoning process for accumulated cognitive debt, shortcuts taken, assumptions unverified, edge cases ignored. Classify each debt item by risk level: low, medium, or critical. Verify that no critical debt item has been carried forward without acknowledgment. Rank debt items by urgency and extract the top three requiring immediate attention. Enforce a debt-resolution step before finalizing output. The constraint: never allow cognitive debt compound silently.

The Structure

The reasoning structure is an accumulate-classify-decide pattern that gathers evidence, categorizes it, then concludes. The process iterates until convergence, where additional passes add nothing new.

If deferred validations and unverified assumptions accumulate without being tracked for later settlement, cognitive debt auditing was skipped.

Cross-Domain Suppression

In Haki mode, the API retrieves the primary ability first, then fans out to three synergy roles that compound its reasoning.

When retrieved in Haki mode, the primary ability is augmented with failure guards extracted from 3 abilities in different cognitive domains. Each guard blocks a specific reasoning failure the primary alone wouldn't catch. A self-check forces verification before output. The result is cross-domain coverage that no single ability can reach alone.
