What problem does it solve?
It helps you uncover hidden assumptions, weak reasoning, and unexamined risks by applying structured elicitation techniques to a target (a draft section, decision, or file).
Core Features & Use Cases
- Choose a critique lens: Run one of several methods (e.g., Socratic questioning, first principles, pre-mortem, red team) to generate targeted counterpoints.
- Iterate with explicit consent: Show an enhanced version side-by-side with what changed, then ask whether to apply updates.
- Horizontal, phase-agnostic use: Invoke during PRD, architecture, story, review, or standalone to deepen scrutiny of the most recent substantive content.
- Example use case: Apply it to your architecture decision to stress-test failure modes and validate the reasoning before you proceed.
Quick Start
Run aped-elicit on a specific file like aped-elicit {{OUTPUT_DIR}}/architecture.md to generate multiple critique options and enhance the most important section after you confirm the target.
