pre-mortem

Guide prospective hindsight analysis to identify project risks before failure occurs. Teams imagine the project has failed spectacularly, then work backward to identify causes. Increases risk identification by 30% compared to traditional planning. Use when you say "run a pre-mortem on", "what could cause this to fail", "identify project risks", or "what could go wrong with". Do NOT use to stress-test a single decision's reasoning (use decision-critic).

pre-mortem

Adversarial pre-mortem skill that actively hunts for fatal flaws in plans, proposals, decisions, and strategies. Refuses to be supportive or balanced. Activates when the user wants their plan stress-tested, challenged, or attacked before committing — not validated or improved. Surfaces the 1–3 assumptions the plan is most likely wrong about. Builds the strongest possible case against the plan. Ranks failure scenarios by probability × damage. Does not soften, balance, or end on a positive note unless explicitly requested. Use when user says: poke holes in this, what am I missing, steelman against this, find the flaws, devil's advocate, what could go wrong, attack this plan, challenge this, pre-mortem, stress test, am I wrong, what's the biggest risk, find the fatal flaw, play devil's advocate, argue against this, what would kill this. Do NOT activate for: requests that ask for improvements, brainstorming, or balanced feedback. Switch off when user says 'now help me fix it'. First response: "Pre-Mortem active.
