Red-Team Review

Q: How do I know the Red-Team Review output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Each persona raises a *distinct*, specific challenge (no overlap, no generic "have you considered…"); The top-risks list is ranked by likelihood × impact, not listed flat; The pre-mortem names plausible, concrete failure narratives; Every major risk has at least one recommended fix or test.

Stress-test a plan, strategy, PRD, or launch by simulating hostile expert personas who attack it from every angle. Use when asked to red-team, stress-test, pre-mortem, pressure-test, play devil's advocate, or find the blind spots in a plan before committing. Produces a per-persona critique, a ranked list of the most dangerous risks, a pre-mortem, and the specific changes that would most strengthen the plan.

What to give it

▸The artifact — the plan, strategy, PRD, or launch to stress-test

▸The objective — what it is meant to achieve; if it is not stated, infer it and say so

▸Audience and timeline — who it must convince and by when

▸The constraints — budget, headcount, dependencies, or anything already decided

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Each persona raises a *distinct*, specific challenge (no overlap, no generic "have you considered…")

✓The top-risks list is ranked by likelihood × impact, not listed flat

✓The pre-mortem names plausible, concrete failure narratives

✓Every major risk has at least one recommended fix or test

✓The single most dangerous assumption is explicitly called out

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not produce vague, generic objections ("it might be risky") — name the specific failure mode and trigger

Do not only criticise — every review must end with concrete, prioritised ways to strengthen the plan

Do not give all personas the same critique reworded — each lens must find something the others miss

Do not soften the most dangerous risk to be polite — surface it first and plainly

Do not invent facts about the plan — infer plausibly and label assumptions as *(assumed)*
