# Blind Spot Breaker
When you review code you just wrote (or just read), your judgment shares the same mental model that produced it — you notice what you expected to see, not what's actually there. This skill breaks that by forcing four hostile personas, each with a different fear and a different definition of "broken," and requiring every one of them to find something. There is no "LGTM" exit.

This version is an independent rewrite in this repo's house style, with a fourth persona (The On-Call Engineer, for production operability) added.

- After a long session — fatigue produces blind spots this compensates for

### 1. Gather the changes
- No target given → `git diff` (unstaged) + `git diff --cached` (staged). If both are empty, `git diff HEAD~1`.
- A ref/range given → `git diff <ref>`.
- A specific file given → read the **entire f
