About this skill

What it does. Restates a position in its strongest form, then selects one of five reasoning modes to surface concrete challenges. It presents the strongest points, asks for a response and synthesises them into a strengthened position with next steps.

When to use it. Before committing to a plan, strategy, design or technology choice, or when checking assumptions and evidence. It supports challenging ideas without reducing the review to objections alone.
