What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you avoid wasting time by adversarially reviewing Limina’s current research direction and next-step plan, focusing on decision quality and evidence traceability rather than looking for reasons to proceed.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Adversarial research audit: challenges the plan to decide whether it deserves more time, pivoting when evidence or framing is weak.
• Evidence-grounded critique: reconstructs a claim ledger separating observations, inferences, and recommendations, and treats missing artifacts as a real risk.
• Decision checkpoint output: produces exactly one of CONTINUE, CONTINUE_WITH_FIXES, PIVOT, STOP, or ESCALATE with an explicit confidence level and the smallest next action that could resolve uncertainty.
• Audit persistence to the KB: when kb/ exists, writes the review as a CR note and validates KB integrity for reproducibility.

Quick Start

Use research-devil-advocate to review the current direction and recommend whether to CONTINUE, CONTINUE_WITH_FIXES, PIVOT, STOP, or ESCALATE based on the available evidence and traceability.
