After Not Doing Something by Ron Newcomb
Version 2.1
Allows us to write rules that happen after an action fails, such as 'After not examining or searching something'. 'After Not Doing Something' is short for 'After Failing To Do Something'

Examples
A — I Try, and I Try
Inform has always allowed us to write rules which take place after a character has done something.
After doing something to the fragile wineglass, say "Careful, that's real crystal."
But Inform doesn't allow us the same flexibility if whatever action we were attempting failed. This extension addresses this by allowing us to write "after not" rules.
After not taking or climbing something, say "Maybe if you washed the butter off your fingers?"
Just like the After and Instead rules, the After Not rules will only run the single most applicable rule, unless of course that rule ends with "make no decision".
