What This Skill Does
Applies a 7-phase adversarial methodology to complex problems. Generates multiple solution approaches, critiques each for weaknesses, develops and validates fixes, then consolidates into ranked recommendations. Works for technical problems like architecture decisions or debugging, and non-technical problems like business strategy.
Forces systematic identification of failure modes and edge cases before implementation, catching problems that single-pass analysis typically misses.
When to use it
- Choosing between competing architecture patterns before committing
- Identifying failure modes in a proposed security design
- Stress-testing a product strategy for overlooked risks
- Debugging a complex performance issue with multiple possible causes
- Evaluating tradeoffs in a high-stakes infrastructure migration
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Should I migrate our monolith to microservices?
- 1Generates 3-5 distinct migration approaches (full rewrite, strangler fig, domain decomposition, etc.)
- 2Critiques each approach for failure modes: operational complexity, data consistency risks, team capacity gaps
- 3Develops specific fixes for each identified weakness
- 4Validates each fix to confirm it resolves the root cause without introducing new problems
- 5Consolidates into ranked options with trade-off summaries and a final recommendation
