How to use
- Copy the installation command and review the source package before installing it in your own agent environment.
- Check the source document for required tools, credentials and supported hosts.
- Describe your input and desired deliverable; review the output against the source material.

represent-mechanism-edge
Purpose
Represent a directed mechanism edge with pathway, sign, assumptions, falsifier, strength, and evidence provenance.
Input contract
yaml
required: [source_entity, target_entity, mechanism_pathway, direction, evidence_register]
optional: [edge_type, strength_scale, assumptions, falsifier]
constraints: [source and target are typed; direction, pathway, evidence, and falsifier are explicit]Procedure
- Type the source and target entities and select the relation/edge type.
- State the mechanism pathway and direction, including enabling conditions and assumptions.
- Attach supporting and contradicting evidence, assign strength on the declared scale, and define a falsifier.
- Emit the edge record with provenance and unresolved mechanism questions.
If a mechanism edge is typed but its support and contradiction records are not linked, consider attach-evidence-to-relation as the next tactic.
Output contract
yaml
produces: [mechanism_edge, evidence_links, assumption_list, falsifier, unresolved_questions]
delta_fields: [findings, evidence_updates, hypothesis_updates, assumption_updates, uncertainties, open_questions]Quality gates
- Every edge states HOW the source can affect the target, not only that they co-occur.
- Strength is bounded by the evidence and includes both supporting and contradicting records when available.
Failure and counterexamples
Do not encode correlation as a mechanism. If the pathway or direction is unknown, emit an unresolved edge rather than a causal claim.
