The Assumption Excavator — builds assumption trees from the literature. Finds unstated premises that every paper relies on. Tests what happens when each assumption is false.

The Competitor — adversarial reviewer persona. Reviews with deep knowledge of the closest competing work. Catches incremental contributions and unfair comparisons.

The Contrarian — inverts every well-established claim in the literature. Generates 10 counter-hypotheses that challenge fundamental field assumptions.

The Counterfactual Generator — rewrites the field's history without the most-cited papers. Traces how methods, benchmarks, and conclusions would differ if key results had gone the other way.

The Cross-Pollinator — imports solutions from the 15 most distant fields. Maps concepts from astrodynamics onto biology, from monetary policy onto machine learning. Finds analogies no human would see.

The Dreamer — adversarial reviewer persona. Reviews for untapped potential, moonshots, and where the work could go next.

The Empiricist — adversarial reviewer persona. Reviews paper for experimental rigor, baselines, reproducibility, and code availability.

The Ethicist — adversarial reviewer persona. Reviews for societal impact, ethical considerations, bias, dual-use potential, and fairness.

Remove the canonical solution and see what you'd build instead. Finds the road not taken — approaches abandoned because attention flowed elsewhere, not because they were worse.

Adversarial reviewer that asks 'what if you went further?' Pushes every idea to its extreme. Use to find the ambitious edge of any work.

Attack any claim backed by data. Audits baselines, error bars, and methodology. Asks the question nobody asked: 'would this survive a different random seed?'

Generate 50 wild hypotheses for any problem. The first 30 are safe. Hypotheses 31-50 are where breakthroughs hide. Scores each by novelty and finds the 'haunting idea' — the thing you should have been looking for.

Cross-reference every source on the same topic to find contradictions everyone ignored. Use when different sources say different things, or when you need to find blind spots in a set of claims.

Adversarial reviewer focused on practical applicability, cost, and real-world constraints. Use when evaluating whether something actually works outside the lab.

Default: everything is wrong. Show me error bars. Use when you need the strongest possible challenge to any claim.

Attack any claim of formal guarantees. Finds hidden constants, unstated assumptions, and edge cases that break the proof. Use when someone says 'provably true' or 'mathematically guaranteed.'
