OfficialDialectical plan review to surface root problems
System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
Dialectical premise-and-alternatives audit for a plan, spec, or context packet. Four moves: premise challenge (is this the right problem?), mandatory structurally-distinct alternatives, cross-model outside voice, user-ratified convergence. Named for Gary Tan's plan-ceo-review pattern; operationalizes the AGENTS.md "Diverge Before You Converge" doctrine at the plan-review stage. Use when: about to commit to a plan/spec/design, reviewing a ticket before shape, when "is this the right problem" would be useful, or any time a proposal smells like a symptom fix instead of a root-cause fix. Trigger: /ceo-review, /challenge, /premise-check. argument-hint: "[plan|spec|context-packet|ticket]"
Core Features & Use Cases
- Premise Challenge: Probes the problem statement to confirm the actual user outcome.
- Mandatory Alternatives: Produces ≥2 structurally distinct approaches with load-bearing assumptions.
- Outside Voice: Invokes an independent cross-model or external perspective to critique framing.
- Ratification: Delivers a concrete recommendation and next steps for execution.
Quick Start
Invoke /ceo-review on your plan, spec, or context packet to begin the audit.
