devils-advocate

Challenges AI-generated plans, code, designs, and decisions before you commit. Pairs with any other skill as a review layer. Uses pre-mortem analysis, inversion thinking, and Socratic questioning to find what AI missed — blind spots, hidden assumptions, failure modes, and optimistic shortcuts. The skill that asks "are you sure about that?" so you don't have to. Triggers on: "challenge this", "devils advocate", "stress test this plan", "what could go wrong", "poke holes in this", "review this critically", "second opinion on this design", "what am I missing". Use this skill when you need critical review of any AI-generated output, architecture decision, implementation plan, or code before committing to it.
