An unguarded premise is an undeclared allergen. The dish is fine for most diners, every night, until the wrong one orders it, and nothing on the menu warned anybody. Code carries the same hazard: a premise that holds on every input the system produces today, enforced by nothing, documented nowhere, that fails silently the day the premise breaks.
Latent Premises is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/latent-premises/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when reviewing a diff or module for hidden assumptions - things the code takes for granted that nothing guarantees - or when asked \"what could break this later\", \"what does this assume\", or to harden code that works today. Complements bug-hunt: bug-hunt finds defects with triggers today; this finds the ones waiting for tomorrow.
The Latent Premises Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/latent-premises/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Latent Premises is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.
