System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
Unvalidated complex implementation plans often contain hidden assumptions, unexamined edge cases, and missing rollback paths that lead to failed deployments, wasted development effort, and irreversible system damage.
Core Features & Use Cases
This skill uses 7 structured question categories (assumption audit, edge case probe, rollback mapping, alternative examination, dependency risk, impact scope, and verifiability) plus 5 Whys root cause analysis to surface gaps in plans for high-stakes changes like architecture modifications, 5+ file edits, irreversible operations, or new external dependency introductions. For example, before running a database schema migration, use this skill to systematically check for partial migration failure rollbacks, unstated data consistency assumptions, and unexamined edge cases around legacy data formats.
Quick Start
