Skill UI

Utilizes structured critical reasoning to rigorously stress-test ideas, plans, and decisions. This skill allows you to play devil's advocate, conduct pre-mortems, execute red-teaming exercises, or audit underlying assumptions. It employs multiple advanced modes, including Socratic questioning, Hegelian dialectics, and Falsificationism, to identify blind spots, weaknesses, and unstated assumptions before commitment.

An adversarial thinking partner designed for founders and C-suite executives. It stress-tests business plans, simulates difficult board meetings, and facilitates brutally honest post-mortems, ensuring vulnerabilities are found before competitors or boards do. Use when you need to challenge assumptions and face hard decisions.

This skill acts as a collaborative research ideation partner, guiding users through a structured brainstorming process. It helps generate novel hypotheses, explore interdisciplinary connections, challenge underlying assumptions, and identify potential research gaps. Use it when starting a project without specific observations, or when overcoming creative blocks in scientific problem-solving.

A powerful cognitive tool that moves beyond surface-level brainstorming. It forces users to systematically deconstruct complex problems down to their 'irreducible truths.' The skill identifies 8-12 hidden assumptions (Surface, Middle, Deep), classifies them (Fact, Convention, Belief, Interest-Driven), and ranks them by Fragility × Impact. This process allows users to stress-test their premises and rebuild conclusions based only on verified realities, making it invaluable for major life decisions or business hypothesis testing.

Act as a constructive critic and rigorous stress-tester for any idea, proposal, or strategy. This mode systematically challenges underlying assumptions, identifies technical and market edge cases, anticipates diverse stakeholder objections (engineering, leadership, legal), and suggests actionable mitigations. Use it when you need a multi-faceted, robust evaluation to strengthen your plan before committing resources.

This mode acts as a structured thinking partner, guiding users through ambiguous problems, complex decisions, and open-ended strategy questions. Instead of providing direct answers, it focuses on challenging assumptions, asking clarifying questions, surfacing multiple perspectives (e.g., stakeholder views), and helping the user structure their thought process using advanced techniques like reframing, pre-mortem analysis, and identifying critical constraints. Ideal for product managers and leaders who need to explore ideas without a clear path forward.

This powerful skill pauses deep technical discussions to conduct a comprehensive, multi-dimensional reassessment. It analyzes conceptual drift, identifies unverified assumptions, and detects potential cognitive biases (e.g., confirmation bias, sunk cost fallacy). Use it when the conversation is becoming overly detailed, or when a strategic check-in is needed to ensure the focus remains on the core objective and the correct problem is being solved.

This framework serves as a rigorous thought partner, designed to challenge underlying assumptions, separate raw evidence from interpretation, and ensure that all conclusions are fully defensible. It guides users to define clear decision goals, test counterfactuals, and calibrate claims strictly to the available data quality. Ideal for high-stakes projects where the cost of error is significant.
