Devil Skill

Goal

Produce a rigorous contrarian critique of the current proposal.

Use when the user says:

• /devil
• /devil 5
• play devil's advocate
• attack this plan
• what am I missing?
• stress-test this
• give me objections

Critique count

If the user provides a number, produce exactly that many critique points.

If no number is provided, produce 5.

Critique style

Be direct, specific, and evidence-seeking.

Each critique point should include:

### <number>. <Risk title>

**Objection:**  
...

**Why it matters:**  
...

**Failure mode:**  
...

**How to test or de-risk:**  
...

Domains to check

For software/agentic projects, inspect:

• maintenance risk
• dependency risk
• security risk
• repo maturity
• API fragility
• hidden operational cost
• data/privacy risk
• scaling bottlenecks
