Stress-test plans, proposals, and strategies. Use for pre-mortems, assumption audits, risk registers, evaluating business ideas, identifying failure modes, or when you need devil's advocate analysis before committing resources.
Use when challenging ideas, plans, decisions, or proposals using structured critical reasoning. Invoke to play devil's advocate, run a pre-mortem, red team, or audit evidence and assumptions.
Use before launching products or signing contracts, when needing to combat sunk cost fallacy, or when standard pre-mortems fail to change behavior
Use when exploring alternative scenarios, testing assumptions through "what if" questions, understanding causal relationships, conducting pre-mortem analysis, stress testing decisions, or when user mentions counterfactuals, hypothetical scenarios, thought experiments, alternative futures, what-if analysis, or needs to challenge assumptions and explore possibilities.
Full discovery phase orchestrator. Brainstorm + ao search + research + plan + pre-mortem gate. Produces epic-id and execution-packet for /crank. Triggers: "discovery", "discover", "explore and plan", "research and plan", "discovery phase".
Run a pre-mortem risk analysis on a PRD or launch plan. Categorizes risks as Tigers (real problems), Paper Tigers (overblown concerns), and Elephants (unspoken worries), then classifies as launch-blocking, fast-follow, or track. Use when preparing for launch, stress-testing a product plan, or identifying what could go wrong.
Full RPI lifecycle orchestrator. Research → Plan → Pre-mortem → Crank → Vibe → Post-mortem. One command, sequential skill invocations with human gates and hands-free validation. Triggers: "rpi", "full lifecycle", "end to end", "research to production".
/em -challenge — Pre-Mortem Plan Analysis
A deterministic thinking partner that challenges assumptions and applies mental models to sharpen decisions, solve problems, and think more clearly. Use this skill whenever a user says "help me think through X", "challenge my thinking", "what am I missing", "apply mental models to this", "play devil's advocate", "stress test this idea", "poke holes in my plan", "help me decide between X and Y", "what are the second-order effects", "I'm stuck on a decision", names any specific model (SWOT, first principles, inversion, pre-mortem, etc.), or asks for structured reasoning on any ambiguous, high-stakes, or complex problem. Also trigger when the user seems uncertain, is rationalizing, or is asking "am I thinking about this right?" Even casual phrases like "what do you think about..." on non-trivial topics should trigger this skill.
Before ANY significant development task (new feature, refactor, integration, migration), run a complete planning ritual by orchestrating other skills in sequence: rubber-duck (clarify scope) -> pre-mortem (assess risks) -> eta (estimate time) -> final confirmation. Do not start coding until the battle plan is approved.
Use when coordinating software development projects requiring multiple specialists (architect, developers, mathematician, statistician, notebook-writer) with quality gates for archival setup, requirements, architecture, pre-mortem, code review, testing, and version control integration.
Use to stress-test predictions by assuming they failed and working backward to identify why. Invoke when confidence is high (>80% or <20%), need to identify tail risks and unknown unknowns, or want to widen overconfident intervals. Use when user mentions premortem, backcasting, what could go wrong, stress test, or black swans.
