What it installs

Skills (7)

  • 5-whys

    Investigate an incident or bug via the 5-whys technique — iterative root-cause drill-down; stop early if a system cause emerges before five iterations.

  • brainstorm

    Generate divergent options (≥10) for a problem before converging — quantity beats quality; not convergent down-selection or ranking (prioritize).

  • deliberate

    Run an iterative observe-frame-options-tradeoffs-risks-revise loop for a plan, design, doc, idea, or implementation; composes brainstorm, red-team, and pre-mortem.

  • first-principles

    Decompose a problem to first principles — strip to fundamentals, drop inherited assumptions, rebuild from bedrock; not option generation (brainstorm) or framing (problem-framing).

  • pre-mortem

    Frame the project as already failed and list the most plausible reasons why, so they can be mitigated before launch; not adversarial critique (red-team).

  • problem-framing

    Frame the problem before any solution — symptom vs root need, who/what/why, constraints, premature-solution bias. A problem statement, not options (brainstorm) or root-cause (5-whys).

  • red-team

    Critique a plan, design, or PRD adversarially — objections with the strongest case the proposer hasn't refuted; not pre-launch failures (pre-mortem).

Subagents (1)

  • architecture-critic

    Critique an ADR or design in a forked context; checks its claims against the code and hunts invariants, failure modes, and cheaper alternatives the lead may miss.
