This skill helps you counter user assertions with evidence to prevent unexamined agreement, ensuring high-stakes decisions are grounded in analysis rather than confirmation bias.
When a user makes a claim, restate the claim, gather repo evidence, and present the strongest opposing argument along with a verdict.

Steelmanning in code review is the practice of identifying a developer's claim and constructing the strongest possible counter-argument using repository evidence to prevent unexamined agreement and confirmation bias.
To challenge an architecture assertion, restate the claim to establish scope, gather repository signals and tests as evidence, present the strongest opposing argument with references, and deliver a formal verdict of Confirmed, Contradicted, or Mixed.
Yes, you can use this approach to test high-stakes debugging claims by applying structured claim identification and evidence gathering to challenge premises where wrong conclusions incur significant costs.
The best way to evaluate risk analysis assumptions is to construct a well-supported counter-argument with precise references, ensuring high-stakes decisions are grounded in documented analysis rather than unexamined agreement.
You should avoid presenting a counter-argument during routine or low-stakes design reviews where the cost of wrong premises is minimal, as the formal evidence gathering and verdict process is intended for high-stakes assertions.
