SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps when you feel the assistant’s claim or plan is untrustworthy, shallow, or missing key context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Re-examination on pushback: Treats the user’s /x as a cue to critically review what was just produced.
  • No capitulation or defense: Focuses on testing assumptions and checking for gaps rather than debating tone.
  • Works as a meme alias: Lets you trigger the same doubt behavior via the “press x” convention.

Quick Start

When you notice the assistant’s output seems incorrect or overconfident, tell the agent to activate the x skill to re-check the work skeptically.

FAQPage Schema
How do I trigger critical re-evaluation of an AI assistant's recent claim?

Trigger critical re-evaluation by using the /x command or the doubt meme to prompt the assistant to re-examine its recent claim or plan with fresh skepticism. This applies to review and debugging scenarios where assumptions should be challenged and prior steps verified.

What is assumption checking in AI debugging and how does it work?

Assumption checking in AI debugging is the process of testing an assistant's prior steps and assumptions for gaps or errors. It works by injecting doubt instructions into the context when you provide pushback, forcing a skeptical review of the generated output.

How do I stop an AI assistant from being overconfident without starting a debate?

To stop an AI assistant from being overconfident without debating tone, use /x to trigger a re-examination. This focuses the assistant on testing assumptions and checking for missing context rather than capitulating or defending its original claim.

Can I use the 'press x' meme convention to challenge an AI's argument evaluation?

Yes, you can use the 'press x' meme convention to challenge an AI's argument evaluation. The /x command acts as a meme alias that triggers the exact same doubt behavior, optionally accepting a brief hunch argument to guide the skeptical review.

Does the x skill require any special setup or dependencies to use for debugging?

No special setup or dependencies are required to use the x skill for debugging. You simply need to instruct the agent to activate the skill when you notice its output seems incorrect, shallow, or untrustworthy, and it will inject the necessary doubt instructions.
