# steel-quench — All-Angle Verification Meta-Skill
> Heating steel and plunging it into water brings internal defects to the surface. quench-challenger attacks → defense → repeat = systematic surfacing and elimination of design flaws.
A designer's anxiety is most dangerous when vague. steel-quench breaks that anxiety into concrete attack angles, defends against them, and closes with residual risks explicitly stated.
> **Scope boundary**: steel-quench stress-tests a **near-complete artifact** (post-build). For pre-build design decisions → `deliberation`. For completed-asset validation → `sim-conductor`.
