This Skill prevents premature decisions by systematically examining plans, beliefs, requirements, and problems before action, exposing hidden assumptions, weak evidence, contradictions, and unresolved uncertainty.
Use the sparring skill to examine whether the proposed migration plan is justified, identify its assumptions and alternatives, and document the conclusions before implementation.

Before an architecture review, use Socratic inquiry to expose hidden assumptions, test evidence, and resolve uncertainty. This process tracks claim states and cross-checks prerequisites against repository context and authoritative sources before action.
Assumption testing in decision analysis is a Socratic inquiry process that examines plans and beliefs to expose weak evidence and contradictions. It tracks prerequisites, confidence levels, and dependencies across open, provisional, settled, rejected, and uncertain claim states.
To clarify requirements and test competing implementation plans, conduct a cooperative question-driven examination of goals and constraints. This identifies edge cases, tracks falsifiers, and produces a shared understanding of the selected direction and remaining bounded uncertainty.
You need ADR documentation when architectural decisions are durable, surprising, and based on meaningful trade-offs. This Skill proposes ADRs to record settled conclusions after examining alternatives and resolving uncertainty during the decision analysis process.
The limitation of Socratic inquiry for repository changes is that conclusions remain bounded by uncertainty if evidence is weak or contradictory. It requires tracking open and provisional claims until falsifiers are identified and outcomes are settled or rejected.
