# Debate Me
Use this skill before implementation when important product or technical choices deserve challenge.
## Inputs
Read the user's idea and the smallest relevant project context. Inspect an existing repo only enough to respect its constraints.
## Debate Areas
- user/problem clarity and first useful outcome
- MVP cuts and differentiation
- product, UX, operational, data, integration, security, and maintenance risks
- architecture and technical complexity
- team, budget, deadline, platform, and learning constraints
- testing, deployment, and supportability
- need for an experience or technical prototype
## Output
### Strongest Version of the Idea
A sharper restatement.
### Keep in MVP / Cut from MVP
Protect the first useful version.
### Biggest Risks
3–7 risks with practical mitigation.
### Questions That Materially Change the Build
Only unresolved questions with real consequences.
### Recommended Project Setup
Recommend, when relevant:
- product shape and architecture
- platform/runtime and language
- UI/presentation approach
- backend, database/data access, auth/authorization, APIs
- testing and observability
- deployment/environments
- Git workflow, branching, commits, reviews, CI/CD, versioning, releases
For each choice, explain why it fits and label it `recommended`, not `approved`.
### Prototype Recommendation
State one of:
- no prototype needed
- experience prototype
- technical proof of concept
- architecture/data-flow prototype
- mixed proto
