SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Structured second-pass reasoning on generated artifacts to surface gaps, challenge assumptions, and improve the quality of decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

Choose from nine reasoning methods (pre-mortem, inversion, first principles, red team / blue team, Socratic questioning, constraint removal, stakeholder mapping, analogical reasoning, and second-order effects) and apply them to the latest artifact.
Provides a rigorous critique of specs, designs, plans, code, or other outputs to reveal risks, trade-offs, and alternative approaches.
Produces a clear delta of findings with concrete recommendations and open questions to guide next steps.

Quick Start

Name a method (e.g., pre-mortem) and run a rigorous second pass on the latest output.

Frequently Asked Questions about elicit

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

FAQPage Schema

How do I run a structured design review to surface gaps in my project specs?▼

Second-pass reasoning applies methods like pre-mortem, inversion, and red team analysis to your generated artifacts, challenging assumptions and revealing risks to produce actionable findings with a delta of changes.

When do I need second-pass reasoning for quality assurance?▼

Second-pass reasoning is needed for high-stakes decisions or project forks, applying rigorous critique to specs, designs, plans, or code to reveal trade-offs and alternative approaches before committing.

How do I apply pre-mortem analysis to a generated strategic plan?▼

Apply pre-mortem analysis by directly invoking the method to run a rigorous second pass on your latest strategic plan, generating concrete recommendations and open questions to guide next steps.

Can I use first principles reasoning to critique software architecture designs?▼

First principles reasoning can critique software architecture designs by breaking down assumptions during the second pass, producing a clear delta of findings that reveals trade-offs and alternative approaches.

What is the best way to challenge assumptions in a strategic artifact?▼

The best way to challenge assumptions is applying structured reasoning methods like Socratic questioning or stakeholder mapping, which rigorously evaluate strategic artifacts and output a delta of concrete recommendations.

Does second-order effects analysis work for operational plans?▼

Second-order effects analysis works for operational plans by evaluating downstream consequences during the structured second pass, maintaining an explicit default workflow for iteration to surface hidden risks.
