redteam

Skill31 starsChanged 32 days agoMITView on GitHub

Runs one adversarial review of a claim, plan, or answer. Use only for /redteam, "push back on this", "red-team this", or "stress-test this". Identifies failure mechanisms and the cheapest way to test them. For broader ideation use fanout; for source verification use prove.

    premortem

    Pre-mortem analysis that imagines a plan has failed, then works backward to identify causes and preventions. Use before launches, major decisions, or risky initiatives to surface hidden risks.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 9 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 4

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Read a referenced artifact and its project's current state and instructions to EOF.

    line 9
  2. Distinctive:

    Alternative explanation: if supported; omit rather than invent a decoy.

    line 13
  3. Distinctive:

    If the target is a file this session wrote and the fix is within the authorized scope, apply it and report the change.

    line 18
  4. Distinctive:

    Run one pass. Be direct, distinguish evidence from hypotheses, and say when the target survives.

    line 20

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 9 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Red-team review

  1. Identify the target from the supplied passage, file, or previous answer. Ask once if ambiguous.
  2. Read a referenced artifact and its project's current state and instructions to EOF. Include existing decisions and constraints in the review.
  3. Attempt to disprove the target. Report:

    • Strongest objection: the most consequential plausible failure, with its mechanism and evidence.
    • Critical assumption: what must hold for the target to work.
    • Alternative explanation: if supported; omit rather than invent a decoy.
    • Cheapest disproof: a concrete check that could settle the objection.
    • Verdict: survives, needs revision, or abandon, with the most important fix.

    Opinion mode, only when the user gives their own opinion together with material ("here's what I think, here's the data"): do step 2 even if no file is named, so current project state outranks a stale excerpt. Replace the first three report items with the three strongest arguments against the opinion, each quoting the line of the material or project files that supports it, and use nothing from general knowledge; if the material supports fewer than three, give fewer and say so. Cheapest disproof and verdict stay. Any other target gets the ordinary report.

  4. If the target is a file this session wrote and the fix is within the authorized scope, apply it and report the change. Otherwise deliver the review without editing someone else's artifact.

Run one pass. Be direct, distinguish evidence from hypotheses, and say when the target survives. Do not manufacture flaws or claim an unrun check proves the verdict.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
