Structured critical reasoning is often ad hoc and inconsistent. This Skill provides a repeatable framework to stress-test ideas, plans, or proposals by applying defined reasoning modes, steelmanning the argument, and delivering actionable synthesis.
Begin the session by selecting a challenge mode and confirming the steelman thesis to initiate the critique.

Stress-test a business plan or architecture proposal by applying mode-based critique, steelmanning the thesis, and generating focused challenges with actionable risk mitigations. This structured reasoning framework ensures consistent evaluation across multiple critical modes.
Steelmanning improves risk assessment by restating your decision proposal in its strongest possible form before challenging it. This ensures the critique addresses the most robust version of your argument, leading to higher-impact objections and effective mitigations.
Start a red-teaming session for a technology choice evaluation by selecting a specific challenge mode and confirming the steelman thesis. The framework then loads guided references to ground the critique and present high-impact objections.
Mode-based critique works for both planning and evaluation use cases, applying structured critical reasoning to decision proposals, architectures, business plans, and technology choices. Users can run a second-pass with a different mode for deeper validation.
The best way to synthesize actionable recommendations from a design audit is to integrate the 3-5 strongest challenges and their mitigations into a refined position. This final synthesis provides clear next steps for the evaluated proposal.
