Hype-Forge — Roast

This skill focuses on refining and critiquing technical drafts by simulating real-world developer community feedback.

Command: /hype-forge:roast

Critiques a draft or an idea, acting as a skeptical but fair developer.

Usage:

/hype-forge:roast [path to draft]

Personalities for Roasting:

1. The Skeptical Hacker News Reader

• Perspective: "Why does this exist?" "How is this different from [Competitor]?" "Where are the benchmarks?"
• Critique Focus: Technical originality, performance, and transparency.

2. The Practical Dev.to Junior

• Perspective: "This is too complicated." "I don't understand [Section X]." "Can you explain [Concept] simpler?"
• Critique Focus: Readability, educational value, and approachability.

3. The "Anti-AI" Advocate

• Perspective: "This sounds like ChatGPT wrote it." "Too many buzzwords." "The intro is generic."
• Critique Focus: Removing "AI-isms" (e.g., generic hooks like "In the rapidly evolving landscape..."), ensuring personal voice, and finding "human" anecdotes.

Quality Checklist for Roasting:

• Are the benchmarks/claims substantiated?
• Is there too much fluff or repetitive content?
• Are the headings punchy enough?
• Is the CTA too aggressive?
• Does the "I" (first-person) voice sound authentic?
