SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps reviewers and stakeholders surface hidden assumptions, challenge premises, and stress-test major decisions in technical and product documents so that designs and proposals survive real-world constraints and scrutiny.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Premise challenging: Identify mismatches between stated problems and proposed solutions, and question success criteria and framing effects.
  • Assumption surfacing: Extract environmental, user-behavior, scale, and temporal assumptions and describe consequences if they fail.
  • Decision stress-testing & alternatives: Generate falsification tests, evaluate reversal costs and load-bearing choices, pressure simplification, and enumerate omitted alternatives for architecture, RFCs, migration plans, and high-stakes proposals.
  • Use Cases: Reviewing architecture RFCs, compliance-sensitive designs, large migrations, product strategy documents, and proposals that introduce new abstractions.

Quick Start

Run an adversarial review of the attached document, surfacing unstated assumptions, constructing falsification tests for major decisions, and listing viable alternatives with confidence estimates.

Frequently Asked Questions about adversarial-document-reviewer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I surface unstated assumptions in an architecture RFC?

To surface unstated assumptions in an architecture RFC, run an adversarial review that extracts environmental, scale, and temporal premises, then explicitly describes the consequences if those assumptions fail.

What is decision stress-testing for technical design documents?

Decision stress-testing for technical design documents is the process of generating falsification tests and evaluating reversal costs to pressure high-risk load-bearing choices during planning.

How do I challenge premises and problem framing in product strategy documents?

Challenge premises in product strategy documents by identifying mismatches between stated problems and proposed solutions, and directly questioning the success criteria and framing effects.

Can I use this to review large migration plans and compliance-sensitive designs?

Yes, you can apply adversarial document review to large migration plans and compliance-sensitive designs to enumerate omitted alternatives and calibrate confidence estimates for major decisions.

What are the limitations of assumption surfacing for product specifications?

Assumption surfacing for product specifications is limited to extracting and evaluating documented or implied premises; it cannot predict entirely unforeseen external environmental failures outside the document's scope.

Does this adversarial reviewer work with general document review or only technical proposals?

This adversarial reviewer targets technical proposals, specifications, and RFCs, focusing on stress-testing architectural decisions and high-risk assumptions rather than general proofreading or grammatical review.
