What problem does it solve? Half-formed ideas often carry unchecked assumptions and unresolved decisions that become expensive problems later. This Skill stress-tests an idea in conversation, while changing your mind is still cheap, so you can act on it with conviction or reject it early. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persona-Driven Interrogation: Cross-examines your idea using installed BMad agents, custom personas, and saved party groups, plus a freshly generated outside voice such as a competitor, buyer, or critic. - Attack/Defend Modes: Say "attack this", "defend this", or "switch roles" at any time to change how the idea is argued; attack mode never agrees with the idea. - Persistent Session State: Records every decision, assumption, crack, kill, and locked idea to an on-disk memlog, so sessions survive interruption and can be resumed later. - Structured Outcomes: Ends as Hardened (distills a short forged-idea.md for downstream planning skills), Killed (with cause of death), or Clearer, and always renders a self-contained forge-report.html with a wax-seal-style outcome stamp. - Use Case: You have a rough product feature idea. Invoke the forge, and it questions your assumptions one branch at a time, brings in a skeptical buyer persona and a finance reviewer, locks the decisions that survive, and hands off a hardened idea file to your planning workflow. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to forge or pressure-test your idea, for example by saying "forge this idea: a subscription tier for our open-source tool". ## Quick Start Tell the assistant to pressure-test your idea, such as "stress-test my idea for a mobile habit-tracking app".
