Critique the perspective before it goes public
Runs an adversarial pass on a near-final piece as an informed sceptical reader — naming the weakest claim, the objection a knowledgeable peer would raise, and any position the advisor cannot defend.
In / outNear-final argument or article → adversarial critique naming weakest claim, credible objections, and indefensible positions

“I'd put something out and then see the obvious objection in the first comment that I should have caught myself.”
What it does
Single-judgement skill that runs an adversarial pass on a near-final piece: takes the developed argument and attacks it as an informed sceptical reader would — naming the weakest claim, the objection a knowledgeable peer would raise, and any position the advisor cannot actually defend. Ends with a sharpened, defensible piece or a flagged gap to close. Used as the final gate before externalising a view, protecting the credibility the published work carries.
Trigger: Use as the final gate before publishing — after the argument is developed but before it goes public — to protect the credibility the piece is meant to build.
